Thanks BenWilson - that makes good sense of the word.

a)depends on the IP stuff
b)there have been losses (which is why I tightly reserve my e-rights)but they seem to be majorly in the sound/pikkies areas
c)the legislation IS being driven by the major music companies (and visual rights holders)and all of this - except for copyright areas- is irrelevant to creative amateurs wanting no income (or only as a sideline)oing stuff right now.
They are right outside of ANY legislation.
(Thank goodness for a goodnight dram! Bless the Laphroaig!)
Cheers! Nightie ra- -
Which drastically skews the the whole equation- excuse all these postings. I have a shoulder that is giving me gyp and I can only type for so long.

May I introduce an elephant?
What is hugely happening
-Youtube/Flickr/countless blogs both on the web and webfed to everything from mp3 players to iPods is
-AMATEURS. People who love the publicity. Dont want or neccessarily need the $$$ but want the exposure."I am real! Hey, here's me on Youtube!"

urm jon-knox - anyone being 'carved-up' in traffic here would not only feel personally insulted, aggreived but also literally wounded if not dead.
A word-use collector seeks your meaning-

robbery - you've hit it: there is not a truly competetive market here (or, I would suggest, elsewhere.)
jon.knox- you raise the interesting questions - and no -say- writer can have anything to do with this process before it's all underway (& some writers, including Steven King, have tried...) -
steven c - that's the neatest piece of Youpageness I've seen.
When there are anger issues - to use the jargon- in my whanau, we tell people -kids/whomever- to go kick waves. And we mean it. But - beating sand with a rock or stick/hitting pillows/or really digging a shitload of earth will work as well. We're humans/hominims. We come from a primate ancestory. We NEED to be physical - a lot of us, well, actually nearly all of us - when we are angry, and we also need to vent our anger by sound.
Yelling at cowered waves works for me (I get really angry about death and injustice and there's been plenty of that around, the last decade...)

In my extremely limited experience Joe(I am an asexual) it is the mothers who do this...sorry to hear about the loss of your friend (truly- I cherish whanau me hoa ma, because - ultimately, that's all we have & all we are).
Given that statement. my father died when I was 11 (eldest of 6 surviving children of his marriage with my mother.) I didnt like him , for very good reasons, but he was an intelligent & gifted and entreprenurial man. He not only taught my mother to drive (not common in the 1950s!) but made her trustee & executrix of his will (almost unheard of, ditto.) She was 31...she has been mother, nana, greatgranna for a tribe- and she has made sure all the family links & connections are kept up to date-

Yeah, I've just realised the total naiveity of my foregoing statements when we're looking at rich people...
but then, I think they are for eating(so just keep 'em prime until umukai time.) -
Never met anyone like that - but but but-where is your self-respect if you cant do basic things? Or if you expect other people to look after
you when you are capable of doing stuff?All whanau,kids & grandkids from my various sibs, and cuzzies, know how to do the basics. Otherwise, we secretly cull them on dark summer nights & offer then to Cthuhullu (or whatever -)
