I didn't already know your views on intellectual property, but I like learning new stuff.
I think we had more than one "lively conversation" on The List about it :).
My LJ (and yours, I assume) is unpaid writing work
Well, yours is :). Mine is rambling nonsense most of the time, and I call very little of it writing.
I would love to see a climate in which some of us could give it away and others can get paid for it, and now that I type that, I realize that's what we have already.
True. But at what point, and how much, does the giveaway drag down the earning power of those who are paid for it? Ain't easy making a living as a writer as it is.
I had been planning to post already-published work for this thing, but now I think I may write something new. Not to spite you, honest. ;-)
I know, no worries :):). The first thing that made me love you was the fact that I could disagree with you about something and have that be *okay* :). I'm sure you realize more than most how rare that can be; some folks seem to think the word "friend" is synonymous with "sycophant".
I have poached eggs and wheat toast and tea. I am happy :).
