Just to clarify, we may shortly be offering a test roll-out to see how well international subscriptions may work. I suspect it may happen shortly after the holidays or just into the new year. Watch the newsletters.

We have always had the ability to do forum specific searches, Bob. But thanks for the kind words, they are always appreciated.

Thanks for being a part of the COW, Bob.

Terje,

Once again, you can flap those verbal wings of yours until your arms either fail or become the “biceps of Godzilla” and it won’t change the fact that what you are doing and espousing is ILLEGAL. Period. As Spot has said in a few places, there is simply NO debate on that issue and no amount of “machinations of justification” will change that.

It’s illegal.

You can write 5,000 words on it if you like but it won’t change that.

It doesn’t matter what I think of the DMCA or whether I think that it should all be free or shouldn’t. This isn’t up for a vote. It’s the law.

It’s a simple concept that you seem unable to grasp.

Lastly, as Spot also says, those who argue the loudest for the removal of all intellectual property protections are those who have no intellectual property to speak of.

[Bob Russell] “My thought is to give them the source materials that I created and a list of the Royalty Free clips and vendor and inform them they must purchase their own license for those items to be able to use them legally. Am I correct in my thinking on this?”

I sure wouldn’t do that. So, my vote is: “Nine, nada, nicht, nebbuh, no, no, no.”

As I said, Terje, and now will make abundantly clear: You are giving people BAD advice and any fool who follows you is welcome to follow advice that will cost them a ton of money while they argue their way up the food chain — if they ever get that far — and get into a higher court where these kinds of splitting of legal hairs are allowed. (Which is what I said but you don’t seem to listen, do you?)

You are encouraging users to break the law. Period.

There is no ambiguity in that and if you think otherwise, then you

read too many forums,
• Have no attorney (who would talk sense to you),
• are headed for eventual problems,
• hopefully will go alone and no one here will heed your bad advice.Now, next time you try to turn my words inside out, do me the courtesy of at least reading them and maybe even try understanding them, okay???

We looked into it and it is just too prohibitive. It would cost about $5 to $6 a copy just to mail and then we’d have to replace lost issues — which happens regularly in international mailings, depending on the country — and that would make it both a financial and manpower drain.

We may try an experiment soon and see how it works out but we would likely only do it through PayPal so that we could refund the money if the experiment proves to be too time and cost prohibitive.

We have talked about it but there’s no plan to do it just yet.

Bottom-line: You will have to spend a LOT of money arguing your case that you have a right to do something that is clearly outlawed by a statute on the books.

Courts do NOT spend endless time wrangling philosophies as is done in forums like this. You are in and out. You will never be given the chance to make many statements at all and will only do so based on the strength of the number and quality of your legal team. Only in the Supreme Court are you given time to do things like this and you will have spent a lot of time and money before you ever get there…

Maybe one day the DMCA will be overturned but that day isn’t today and it won’t be with money I am willing to spend. You are indeed welcome to spend whatsoever you wish…

The fact is this: Law enforcement acts on the statutes that are on the books. Judges enforce based on these same statutes — at least until they are off the books (which rarely happens, especially when big money and where powerful PACs and special interest groups are concerned).

If you have the money and the time to fight existing laws, then please feel free.
