Good point. Didn’t think to ask his price.

gnome–see if you can find find the smith family–buffy smith…….in the neighborhood of long pond….she’s your guide…….hook her up with me again…….what a place………

i’m sure her family is still there. right down the street from us.

sorry for vampin’ so much on the brewster thing, but it was such a part of my late teenage and young adult years that were so purely happy and wide open……..i was so lucky to have such a place that let me feel that way…….and still does……so beautiful, and whammed my brain on so many levels…..nature and socialogical.

changed me forever. i can honestly say that place made me who i am now. i can say that and mean it.

I am of two minds actually on IP. OTOH, the artist/programmer/moviemaker have created something – and that something is how they make their living. Granted they only get a tiny portion of any proceeds – but that’s why it is called intellectual PROPERTY. It shouldn’t be any different from an actual painting or a sculpture or whatever. Counterfeits that are sold as originals deprive the artist of her/his just due. And people who make counterfeits have routinely been prosecuted in all areas of ‘physical’ property. The ‘intellectual’ part has had many people flummoxed because since it is kind of amorphous (like a computer program – you can’t see it but it’s there).
OTOH, I like to listen to music and I can’t always go out and spend the kind of money it costs to collect all the CDs I really want so….

I think it’s one thing if an artist puts their music up on iTunes for free (they’re doing it themselves) but another thing altogether if that ‘file-sharing’ is done in violation of copyright laws and without the permission of the artist involved.

I am a clothing designer, and that’s how I make money – off my ideas. Stealing my designs by copying them without my permission isn’t correct – no matter if you sell them or not.
