    Care to elaborate?

    I don't think Russell would care for me to elaborate, and without his approval it would be uncool, and besides auntie jackie would only give me another stern lecture on how to behave in his house.

    Robbery I'm glad you comment here.

    Thanks merc, but I'm not so sure I am, I don't very often and I'd have to say I'm a little surprised by russell's response, which drew out my response and so on.

    I've been excessively patriotic for years but recently I've not been digging the vibe, or caring about fighting for the identity thing.

    This has resulted also in my not wanting to go ahead with having my 3rd book published here in NZ

    That's an interest result. apparently you do not have to supply copies if it is not produced in nz r as the overseas publisher is not governed by nzlaw, but the nat lib is required to acquire all works, by nz 'creative types' so are supposed to fork out for a copy.

    no, the distributor sells the rental outlet a dvd/video for (say) $100 and the outlet can then make as much money as they can from renting it before the title is available for purchase thru retail.

    so can a rental store go to the warehouse and buy cheap copies of the release dvd and rent them out with no recourse to the owner of the work?

    Did I give you a bad review in 1983 or something?

    No, I apologise for how that came cross.
    I do rate your internet and media commentary highly and I do take issue with your music commentary. I don't mean that personally or maliciously. I just don't agree with your opinion or how you see music.
    That's the nature of the critic I guess, you get empathy or enrage, at least you don't get indifference.

    I also think its bloody brilliant you're prepared to discuss it in a public forum you host, however much we might disagree. thats one advance in media technology that impresses.

    I'm not an authority, but I did go and read the law.

    I've got 3 copies of it on my desk, god it reads terribly,
    It was one of my main points. what a waste of money. why have I got 3 copies, why did they even bother sending this stuff out?
    Why didn't they just ask nicely first.
    Hey brotha, I'm hard up, can you spare a cd?
    they might have got the response they were after. they're still cheap assed, but the ned result would have been the same

    has McCains been in touch with you about getting resource consent to commence mining the freedom fries deposits that appear to abound upon your shoulder??

    :) I love that whole freedom fries thing. It'll take em a long time to live that slight on the french down.
    I thought you were slipping in a john McCain reference but it was just a frozen produce one.

    What artists have they approached via Myspace do you know? I am actually curious as I would have expected to have heard something about it if they are approaching things in this way.

    every artist I know, I know of over 40 personal. I think they do a search for music and location and hit everyone they find.
    I guess you'd have to have new zealand and your city listed in your profile for them to be able to find you.

    You seem to be the only one who thinks so. But you're free to say so (it would be nice if you could keep it seemly) and I'm free to disagree.

    seems that way but that was one of my points, its only important when it affects you (thats the proverbial you, not 'you' you)
