I’ll only vote for you if you promise to get a new sport coat. Brown is not your color.

So I was wondering what you would call QUALIFICATIONS that you have to be on ANY PANEL ??

Have you ever worked in the entertainment industry, produced a song, or movie.

Have you even spend time with movie execs or industry leaders to find out their opinions.

You appear not to have a strong grasp of basic concepts related to finance, commerce and industry.

You appear to have quite weak knowledge of local and international laws regarding commerce, copyright, and IP issues.

You appear to have strong opinions, based on few facts and some obscure stories. (and lots of references back to your own stuff, which is usually lifted from elsewhere anyway).
I know ive looked, and anyone else can as well.

Just pick an article mike has with his links and follow the links, you’ll find most refer back to his own site, and then to some second source for the original information, like Glyn Moody, or boycott novel.

Where is all your original thinking Mike? how often (and its seems NOT OFTEN) do you do your own original research, or actually talk to the people directly involved.

All you (im sorry to say) seem to ever do is to troll other sites, dig dirt and cut-copy it here and add a few emotive comments and links to your own site to make it ‘official’.

I have to question why you cannot generate “ORIGINAL” and new content, instead of just taking everyhone elses work?

It appears that its very difficult for you to innovate, or create, not only song or movies, but articles, and content for this very site.

I read all your ‘articles’ then if I go to a site like “boycottnovel” now as you know “techrights”, I read all the same artices AGAIN, IN THE SAME ORDER usually.

What do you do,, Do you troll Glyn Moody, techrights and just ‘copy/paste’ what they said, or do they copy/paste what you say ?

Either way, how about some original ideas, concepts, and plans for a better future that you invision.

There are those that Do things and those that talk about what is done..

I do not see you as a “doer”.

I can see why you dont like copyright, as it appears the vast amount of what you do to make a living is
copy,,, right ?

Why dont you generate original content, why is it all you do is take others work, (I assume they agree), and drop in some of your own comments and post away..

Im sure its easier, but im equally sure it is not a good look for you. Its shows you lack depth.

Ie, you lack the ability to actually look at a big picture, and all you do is wait for other to make comments, and you just repost them here.

But if some think you are worthy of being on a panel so be it, I assume it would be a ‘friendly’ panel, and not include anyone hostile to your idea’s.

Just out of interest who else would be on these panels, and are they panels allready preaching to the converted.

Do you honestly think you have anything significant to bring to the debate ?
And if you do, why not make them known here, as opposed to just quoting a small group of others.

Why not defer the panel position to Glyn Moody for example, he appears to be the source of much of your ‘original’ content. Or Roy Swetowitz, but he has the same problem of lack of originality.

To vote for you I would have to eccept you have a policy, that I have yet to see, I see you refing to others plans and policies, and I see you bitterly complaining about people using the existing laws as they should.

But I see little from you that is constructive, and possibly effective.
Some wild talk about ‘infinite’ good, which has no bearing on supply and demand. As if just being infinite is going to make you want it !!

But when I see anything constructive from you, that intends to follow the rule of law, then I would happily suppot you.

Until then, my feelings are that you on panels would be counter productive.

Mabey someone actually involved in the industry’s in question, or someone who actually knows what they are talking about would be of higher value to a panel. Than you..
