Many of the comments are extremely negative. If you haven't done the course or you have but didn't really apply yourself you should just be honest. I notice that many people go on Amazon and post "reviews" when they obviously haven't even read the book.

I tried to make one earlier today via their telephone system, and lo and behold the operator was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Fortunately, the agency to whom I was making the payment was much more helpful and told me that they would track the payment via the transfer control number. Hoping that the online remittance would go better that the telephone payment, I was challenged multiple times with "identity verification questions." When I tried to get help with those questions, the only thing I got from Western Union was an incredibly humorous "we'll send you what information we feel like sending you in four to eight business days" and "well, you live outside of the us, and that sucks. deal with it" response. Because of these pieces of unhelpful trash, I will now need to send a traveller's check to the agency and wait six business days for the payment to arrive. In the meantime, my credit score will be negatively impacted due to these worthless douchebags and their antiquated security measures. Never, ever, ever again will I trust these maggots. http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001689/#com163375 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:48:40 UT http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163374 2012-01-30 15:46: comment by <a href="http://ming.tv/">ming</a> on "Intellectual Property":<br/>Well, old standards should really have become public domain long ago. They're part of our shared culture. It is only perverted copyright laws that try to maintain the idea that somebody can own the estate of long dead composers and keep making money from what they created, even though they had nothing to do with it.<br/><br/>Part of the idea in something like SOPN would of course be that it is so drastic that it would force a lot of people to rethink things. It would no longer be possible for copyright owners to leach on to free distribution methods. They'd have to create and pay for their own complete distribution mechanisms, or they'd have to put up with the fact that nobody will care about or even know about their stuff any longer.<br/><br/>I believe in a free market. What I have against most of the copyright/IP laws is that they subvert free markets and create monopolies, by allowing a small percentage of people to not have to compete or produce value, giving them a license to take the value that others create. And those people aren't even the actual creators, and it isn't the people who paid for it already (us), but rather the people who somehow now "own" the abstract creation, by having bought it or inherited it or having tricked somebody out of it with the small print of a contract.<br/><br/>I don't think there needs to be guaranteed incomes for people who compose music or who take photos. I think it would be nice if there were guaranteed minimum income for everybody in the world, but I don't see why a composer somehow has more right to it than do other people who do other types of work. I think that if you want to have extra rewards, you need to keep producing value, and our collective choices will determine how much value it is to us. http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163374 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:46:54 UT http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163361 2012-01-28 18:18: comment by <a href="mailto:dk215@gmx.de">Dom</a> on "Intellectual Property":<br/>Imagine a singer wanting to sing some good ol' standards (and let's face it, people are more likely to engage people for live gigs who sing and play what they already know). This singer wants to promote herself online, singing "Over the Rainbow". Or whatever. Under SOPN guidelines, that would not be possible as far as I can tell. In that, SOPN would virtually have the same effect on self-promoted musicians as SOPA.<br/><br/>Musicians can create original material of course, but the air has become very thin in terms of original ideas that have the potential to reach as many people as it takes to make a living off it. After all, everyone with a laptop can produce music these days, thanks to cheap or free software at pro level. So there are many millions competing, with more coming in each day. http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163361 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:18:00 UT http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163360 2012-01-28 17:56: comment by <a href="mailto:dk215@gmx.de">Dom</a> on "Intellectual Property":<br/>Another great Ming article. Thank you for it.<br/><br/>I am still doubtful however as to whether in an environment as the one proposed here artists would actually receive a substantial income. With so much Open Source software available, the web community is somehwat spoiled in regards to having to pay for anything at all.<br/><br/>When I look at creatives making actual money on the other hand, I see it is mostly people working for film (like composers, designers or art directors) who would probably not sell much of their work online.<br/><br/>After all, the traditional distribution channels (likes movies) are still a big business. To refuse to participate there (at whichever unfair rates) would mean for many creatives to get a day job. http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163360 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:56:19 UT http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163341 2012-01-27 01:30: comment by <a href="http://ming.tv/">ming</a> on "Intellectual Property":<br/>By all means, spread the message around, in any way possible! http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163341 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:30:04 UT http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001991/#com163340 2012-01-26 22:19: comment by Simon Stella on "Intellectual Property":<br/>Magnificent piece of well executed response to the silliness of government backed unscrupulous mega corps.

Their paper on the subject was presented on June 10, 2010. The scientists found that protein existing only in a chicken's ovaries, is necessary for the formation of an egg. Their conclusion is that the chicken came first. http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-001661/#com163304 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:05:49 UT
