When I first got "netted" in 1988 there was a wonderful, frontier, outlaw mentality that asserted that "ALL INFORMATION SHOULD BE PUBLIC ACCESS."

Gradually, the net has been transformed into a "commercial vehicle;" and with that transformation has come all of the trappings and traps and eventual playing of "taps" to the wilderness mentality. The "net," as I have known it, is being legalized out of existance.

It is personal greed that has poisoned it.

"I want MY cut." "I want MY royalty." "It is MY intellectual property." "If you use it - I want MY cut."

There are very powerful tools available today to assure that someone gets THEIR nickle for THEIR "movment-song." These same tools will assure that ASCAP and all others control the use of "intellectual property."

If the attitude of greed expressed by some within this thread.... is combined with the tool on the attached link "MudCat" will not see the millenium.

Property that is TRULY intellectual must be freely shared with all
