I am a creator, and this "alliance" is a farce. Move along folks, all they're promoting here is increased corporate control over what you're allowed to create. Along with copyright protection for creators comes copyright liberties for listeners, users, readers, and viewers--WHO ARE ALSO CREATORS and generators of knowledge. WE ARE THE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES.

This post sounds pretty arrogant to me. I read the April 2 letter you reference and found it to be well reasoned and respectful, contrary to your assertions here. That letter was also rational and mature in tone, unlike your post which is emotional and exaggerated in tone (nevermind the gross ad hominem overtones). The bottom line is that both letters represent important positions in the copyright dialogue, and the president should hear both arguments. Accusatory posts like this one do little to promote progress in this area. I agree with John Gordon. This post sounds pretty arrogant to me.

Last year you told the Supreme Court how to do its job concerning the Cablevision DVR appeal, and you told the Chairman of the FCC how to do his job concerning network neutrality. Was it arrogant, patronizing, or condescending to give your opinion to those public officials? Recently in Seattle you told the FTC how to do its job vis a vis DRM.
