Worry about your own business, and not what others are doing bringing you down. Those people that are getting the free pictures would never be your customers anyways LMAO, and if they are in your market....you are shooting the wrong stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-40029415237477349112007-11-16T10:16:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:16:00.000-05:00Andrew --The movie producers posted that segment o...Andrew --<BR/><BR/>The movie producers posted that segment on YouTube as promotion for the movie, as far as I can tell.<BR/><BR/>JohnJohn Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941161605443479300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-87996076615626608622007-11-16T04:43:00.000-05:002007-11-16T04:43:00.000-05:00I'd just like to raise a point: has anyone paid Yo...I'd just like to raise a point: has anyone paid YouTube a fee to watch this?

He's one of my favorite writers and has written Hollywood and TV screenplays, political and film criticism, and is most famous for science fiction/fantasy. But his most important contribution has been his unwavering belief in the sanctity of copyright and the artist's control of his own damn work. He has written dozens of books and thousands of essays. His website www.harlanellison.com will provide hours of entertainment just on his battles against internet piracy and copyright thieves. If you ever get a chance to listen to Ellison in person, no matter what the venue - go. He will always hammer home how important it is to control your art.James Aronovsky Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193300904156108132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-67165474557676367632007-11-14T01:25:00.000-05:002007-11-14T01:25:00.000-05:00I must have watched this six times today, it's tha...I must have watched this six times today, it's that good.
