More amused by the inherent envy in "You and I don't make royalties on work we did forty years ago; neither should they". It's never a good position to take on a subject where its effect on you defines it as good or bad, it seems somewhat myopic and greedy.

NEWSFLASH: You clearly don't understand so I'll explain it again in a bit more detail.

So the two things are it's both bullshit and horseshit? Seems fair and accurate… Also more coherent than the original post…

I reckon that it would make a lot of sense to strip the Olympics back, so that they number of facilities required would be heavily reduced. The Olympic seems to be about sports of a certain perceived value, when I'd like to see them to be about raw physical traits. Athletics, Gymnastics, Rowing, Cycling, the unarmed…

London seems to have done OK, but even we have some issues about post games usage (the No-Longer-Olympic-For-Copyright-Reasons Stadium now has a football club using it on what seems to be a really favourable deal, the same kind of bargain that helped Man City's owner's sell them for a vast profit). It's a very…

I don't know if it would be possible to find out - a producer could procure a script on his behalf through a third party and the screenwriter might not speak out because they didn't have a reputation that would let them survive being a 'troublemaker' - there definitely seems to be cliques operating within Hollywood…

And if someone takes a low payment up front to increase the chances of the work being made, expecting to get more if people want to take ownership of it?… Not an uncommon thing with authors for example. That said, your 'model' falls over because it essentially removes any mechanism for publishers/producers etc to…

It's an awkward thing when someone has served their sentence (rather than hiding from serving it in Polansky's case) - should all offences mean you can never work in a job with a public profile again? In theory, Joe Mixon has served the sentence required of him by law, so should be able to pursue an NFL career. Should…

Youtube, Bandcamp, Flickr, DeviantArt, street art, street theatre… Do you really want a list of all the places that you can find free art? It's the artist's decision. If they don't want to take part in a capitalist society, they can live off the grid and produce art with what they have available. Again, Artist's…

Even some less than Mainstream publications were reluctant about it. Jezebel did a piece about why they didn't pick it up, detailing shady characters around the victim. It's not a strong story, the interest in it seems to be about the damage it could do, rather than the merits of the case itself

Accessing art has never been cheaper. This is ideologically dressing theft for personal convenience. Feel free to suggest an alternative model, and if it works, people may take it up. Until then, it's THE ARTIST's decision, not one for you to take on their behalf to save you a few bucks

Scripts can be submitted to studios and producers, and in that case, yes, it's definitely possible that the writer had no input in to who would direct it. If a director directly commissions a writer, then it's a different story

Pirating art deprives artists of means to support themselves. If an artist wants to give their work away for free, that is their choice, not something to be decided on their behalf by cheapskates…

Unlikely to be cheap, sadly…

It can be two things…

There is a Dutch fitness coach Raymond Verhiejen who thinks Arsenal's problems relate to bad training, so they lose their midfield to injury every season. It looks like he might be right, but even if he isn't, he has had some hilarious insults directed at Arsene Wenger:
"Unconsciously incompetent"
"When you begin you're…

A basketcase full of bull shit, so it's close…

If only… He is on national TV every weekday morning, being an insufferable colostomy bag. Be grateful you only seem to have occasional custody!

It was above his comprehension level…

He is mostly wrong on his insistence about keeping on breathing, a decision that does the world constant harm…
