Woman's Sounding Board

Re: Re: Hmmmm

Actually, as an author myself, it's one of my pet peeves. I wouldn't want someone copying my work and selling it without me getting my share. Not to mention, a lot of peopel who work on film crews, don't make millions of dollars, but make normal salaries like the rest of us. Movie companies lose billions a year on piracy, and all they do is pass it on to the consumer with higher ticket prices. So we're really the ones paying.

I worked for a film production company for two years once as their accountant. When you take in the production costs, overhead, duplication etc. a cassette cost about $3.00 amortized over the full production. That cost climbs somewhat because of returns and so on but nothing like the $50.00 - $70.00 per copy they sold for.

I agree bootleg is stealing, but the film companies aren't being too honest either (And I know how much carpenters, stage crew, sound engineers, etc make)

Well, I'm sure they're not being completely honest, but as you said, it's still stealing. And you have to remember, from the police standpoint, when they get complaints from the public, and we got several. They have to do SOMETHING, or people will run to the media and say the police don't care.

I'm very good at finding the perfect melon... the Hermiston's are just coming ripe now...

(I've been known to hurdle barb wire fences with one under each arm )

 

[Native Alien]

That is the one thing that we have trouble getting here, good melons....

 

[Jenny _S]

Damn... we have thousands of acres about 60 miles east of here... They bring them in on double flat bed trailers daily... In another couple weeks the market will be glutted with them... and the price will be down to 7 or 8 cents a pound

 

[Native Alien]

Damn I know I need to move west for sure now...

West maybe, Native...
But sadly, California still gets the best we grow

 

[Native Alien]

That might be, but look at this way, even your worst is better than our best most of the time.

Jenny, there's something I'd like to say to you, and I prefer that it's said publicly rather than in a PM.

I've just read your post on Killer Muffin's thread, and I 'dips me lid to you lady' (take my hat off to you).

You are a great writer and a beautiful person. I'm so glad you grace these boards... we all benefit from your wisdom and insight. Thank you.

 

[Native Alien]

Ummmm...Boo...we have discovered pming and the thread didn't die.

Give Boo the slice of watermelon and several vodka spritzers.

Ladybird, I want thank you and Jenny both for the support. I did go over to the general board and apologize for my behavior. I just can't remember in which thread.

I saw your apology somewhere hon, I can't remember just where myself.

Don't lose any sleep about it. It's past, gone, history and now it's time we all moved on.

So... did you hear about the woman that knocked on the donors door of an artifical insemination clinic. A gent opened the door and looked at her, puzzled. He said.. "you do realise that this is the donor's entry to the clinic, don't you? To which she pointed at her bulging cheeks.

Put a smile on your dial chicky babe, and keep it there.
