I didn't mention permitted piracy (except that Michael Moore opposes anti-piracy laws).
He permits folks to pirate his material.
I'm just trying to point out that the large one appears to have implicitly decreed his materials are in the public domain, and therefore cannot be pirated.
I agree with the piracy thing, but what really bums me out is the recycling in my town. They demand you recycle stuff, but won't print out a list of what is acceptable for recycling. The recyclers come about an hour after the trash guys, so whatever they decide to leave the bright green sticker on, i have to hang on to for another week. They take the clear glass, but not the brown. They take the corrugated cardboard most weeks, other times they dont. They dont ususally take the cereal box cardboard, but not pizza boxes. they take the milk jugs, as long as they are cloudy, not the white ones like the hood milk comes in. they also take some kinds oh #2 hdpe, but no PETE or other plaStics. they will take the soda bottles because there is a deposit, but not water bottles i am confused as the dickens, and have tried a dozen times to explain the differences in what is recyclable and not that i have given up, so then the recycling commission sent us a letter complaining that we are nto recycling enough of our waste material. I asked them if the paper they used to write the letter was 100% post consumer content and they said no, so i asked them if they would be offended if i threw it away and they said yes, so i did. The real funny thing is my house is right on the town line, and my neighbors in the next town can put anything they weant in the recycling bin and the guys take it. OH, yeah, the relevance thing sucks, btw. Antoher thing that really burns me up is they love to smash the rcrate that I have to put the recyclables in. They slam them hard into the ground, or leeave them in the street then hit them with the truck as they drive back out. The town will not give me a replacement unless I return the old one nd pay $25. I tried using an $6 walmart-bought rubbermaid container, but they won't pick up recyclables unless they are in the apporved container. One time, I had so much recyclable stuff, i put out the approved container full and the reuuermaid container. They played their little chuck-the-container-into-the-next-town game, but because it was about 7 degrees below zero, the container shattered. I took it back to walmart, and got another one for free because of the good Rubbermaid guarantee, but it still pisses me off that I had to find my receipt and make the trip all the way across town. It isn't easy being green.
You must not go to very nice theatres. I see people complaining about this all the time, and I don't experience this too often. Especially now that the local theater has stadium seating. The only thing I can really complain about is getting bent over at the concession stand. To avoid that I just avoid the concession stand.
Well, there are pros and cons of living on the city line.
Actually, "humpty dumpty" will do whatever he can to sell his name even if that includes allowing for piracy. Of course, what do you expect from liberals?
Well shiver me timbers.
