The alonovo.com People Before Profit Film Series

[Note: Promoted by mole333]

In order to help educate the public and build community around the theme of "People Before Profit", we need your help. Beginning February 10 with "The Corporation" we are planning a series of nationwide house parties, each of which will be followed by a 30 minute conference call with the filmmakers, authors and/or subject matter experts.

We are honored that Professor Joel Bakan, author of "The Corporation" and others will be joining us for the event.

Over the next several months, the alonovo.com house party film series mission is to help people understand how ExxonMobil, Wal*Mart, Halliburton, Enron, General Motors, Union Carbide Kimberly-Clark and others that put the pursuit of profit above all else, harm society, the environment and our resources. We will be presenting films from Hello Cool World, Brave New Films, MoneyTalks, Ashoka and others that offer compelling independent media that is either edgy or inspirational, and all related to corporate behavior.

As egregious corporate behavior is a theme that impacts all of us, I would be personally grateful if you could help us with visibility for the event. If you could help promote the series to your community it would be of great value to your constituents. If you are able to help us we would be happy to list your organization as an event co-sponsor or major co-sponsor and provide a link back to your site, or an educational campaign you may have developed which is aligned with the film or film series.

Words to live by

So the recent struggles about network neutrality have led me to recognize something I hadn't quite seen before. And that something in turn makes more puzzling the debates that have been raised around network neutrality. The something to recognize is that in a fundamental sense, fair use (FU) and network neutrality (NN) are the same thing. They are both state enforced limits on the property rights of others. In both cases, the limits are slight --the vast range of uses granted a copyright holder are only slightly restricted by FU; the vast range of uses allowed a network owner are only slightly restricted by NN. And in both cases, the line defining the limits is uncertain. But in both cases, those who support each say that the limits imposed on the property right are necessary for some important social end (admittedly, different in each case), and that the costs of enforcing those limits are outweighed by the benefits of protecting that social end. So from this perspective, it is easy to understand those who reject FU and NN (who are they?). And it is easy to understand those who embrace FU and NN. What gets difficult is understanding those who embrace one while rejecting the other --at least when that rejection is articulated in terms of "government regulation".
