I've been surprised by all the vitriol. I'd have thought that Podtech would have built up a couple brownie points with y'all by now, what with their paying you real money, and hosting awards shows for us all to circle-jerk at.
Maybe the lesson here is to get paid First? Once you put something online, you don't own it anymore than you can claim to own a rainbow hovering above your house. It's in the public consciousness, part of the firehose of experiences that we all consume, transitory experiences. I think especially in this case since it's a digital photo of Casey McKinnon, if anyone has a claim to some money it would be her. If someone else made a recording of a song I was playing, and royalties were to be paid for that recording, I'd likely be the one to receive them. But I wouldn't demand them. Something just sits wrong with me when I hear about people billing other people for services that they weren't hired to provide. Creative Commons is pretty silly, not as silly as traditional copyright, but pretty silly. I'm heading out of town now so I won't be able to respond to any shit slung my way for a while :) P.S. Lan, you're a badass photog, I'm glad I found your work via this mess. -Adam On 6/29/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can we give this a rest for a week or two and see what happens? > > This group does some very cool things and discovers news worthy > information all the time and this has the two side talking. > > It sounds like something is going to happen and that this will come > to a settlement but I don't think that will happen untill after the > 4th of July so can we pause for a little while, bring it back up > later if we need to and move on to some fun stuff like What iPhone > line is Steve Garfield standing in? or Why is Ask a Ninja going to > Israel ? > > > > Tim > > Tim Street > Creator/Executive Producer > French Maid TV > The Viral Video of "How To's" by French Maids > http://frenchmaidtv.com > Subscribe for FREE on > <ahref="http://www.frenchmaidtv.com/itunes " target="_blank">iTunes</a> > > > > > > > On Jun 29, 2007, at 9:46 AM, Devlon Duthie wrote: > > > I'm with Carl. > > > > If we want to use crowd 'weight' wouldn't an email/blog/pr frenzy > > be more > > effective? > > > > also, just saying :) > > > > -- > > -Devlon > > > > http://devlonduthie.com | http://mefeedia.com | http://node-64.com/ > > blog > > MSN: du.th.ied > > AIM: devlond > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Behalf Of Carl Weaver > > Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 8:02 AM > > To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com > > Subject: [videoblogging] Re: Hey PodTech - What's up with Lan's image? > > > > I have a problem with raising money for Lan on the list.
