p2pnetp2p news / p2pnet: Rick Fulkerson lives in Coos Bay, Oregon, where he owns and runs a small computer store north of the city.
But he's also a dedicated amateur movie maker bent on featuring the entertainment cartels as they really are, like in RIAA Porno, among other epics ; )
"One of my main concerns, as I read about the copyright struggles, is what our forefathers intended in the constitution," he told p2pnet a while back.
He was talking about his then latest, Copyright History, and, "They had many of the same copyright debates we have today," he said. "They recognized that individuals who create works of art or inventions needed to have time to make a profit from their work. No one on either side of the issue can dispute it. The constitution guarantees this for a limited time, which was originally seven years from my understanding. This also allows those works to eventually enter the public domain for the enrichment of everyone.
"However, today's mega media giants have tapped into the public domain and profited by it have then locked up those works with their own copyrights.
"This is dangerous and scary to me especially when the governments of the world are embracing these practices.
"I also can't understand why artists support this system."
Fulkerson finally has his own site and we can expect more of his work to show up there, to the continuing embarrassment of the Big Four record labels and Big Six movie studios.
"I've been away for quite a while," he says. "I had a huge family emergency, then dealing with my business. When it rains it pours. I've been checking in, though, and keeping on top of things.
Good to see you back, Ric ; )
