It's called the way of the world, rob.
:) mark, sorry, just got round to reading your post, I feel I've done good for you tonight.
Hopefully as your tone suggests you got worked up and that's got to be the equivalent of a good 6 km jog just there in heart rate increase. you'll thank me for it in your old age.besides you got me all wrong, I was trying to be helpful for writers and pass on the lessons you learned me, honest, i'm one of you, I am clan.

"lone voice of sanity"
also that comment was in response to russell attempt to paint me as trying to pick one member of his united clan off and turn them against him. I've never seen PA like that ,although there is definite pressure to conform in the copyright debate.
him making common cause with one member of the clan by dumping on the others
that's just a little strange to see written here.
Russell if one indie label dude from the pits of the south island can shake you you're going to have big problem speaking on these issues against well informed lawyer types. -
"lone voice of sanity" tone
I don't feel I have that tone, and I'm certainly not the lone voice on that side of the debate (kyle, islander, gio, keir etc etc all make valid arguments on their own), but you would have to be slightly insane to take it up here seeing as how divided the simple subject of media seems to makes people.
I'm sure you'll find a friend soon, anyway
you're my friend mark, now that I've learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. that was the whole point of my 'advice' to islander. don't fight it, join the pod people, it feels good.

I missed the irony.
I guess one mans irony is an other's snark, but I would have thought the souvenir teaspoons comment was a give away.

but I couldn't see that anyone had actually expressed any of the views you referred to.
spelling it out, I'm applying conditions under which music and film are supposed to survive as outline in discussions here many many times and applying it to books, in a somewhat ironic way.

making common cause with one member of the clan by dumping on the others.
polite challenge = dumping?
me against the world, sucking up to islander?possibly being sensitive,
islander has multiple times voice support for my points, its not a new position for either of us to agree. -
No one has suggested anything of the kind, but carry on anyway ...
I think I made my point, but lets pretend I didn't.
I'll clarify.
I was working on the basis that you can freely interchange models between different media, like say open source software and oh, I don't know, music, or film distribution, why not have a go at books too, seems almost unfair not to. -
Spoilsport!
Well no one owes me a living so its only fair I get down to the local fast food joint and put in my hours like everyone else.
