Legally Getting Started in Art Related fields
Am I adverse to new people? No, but they annoy me as I am demanding for demanding fields, with dynamic needs. I like most/many people have doodled in art since the age of about 3, but as I have always asserted the main issue for most desiring to work in the field is to be enabled to make money in it. HEY?
MY SPECIALTY IS INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION/S!
Art has become a mad law driven field, and though they know what they like , what the heck do most people know about art, music, business, business language, contract law, laws governing comity, jurisdiction, and conflicts? Futures? Corporations? Personally the artist is not respected becauee they don't even respect their ownselves.
Today the music art field has been often taken over by many large entities of capability to assert a presence in what is the field of "Intellectual Property" governed by not only state, local, federal, but international law, and treaties.
Personally people get into trouble with law just on the local level because they don't always understand it, cause themselves more grief than it is worth, and play alot of games with people they shouldn't. So well with the reading levels being what they are, I don't think they know very much about it all; and,
Only after some years after some study of law, and working as a legal researcher have I become personally comfortable in the matter after all there are several ways to deal with it , mainly piece meal, or comprehensively.
I have recently advertised for poetry manuscripts to publish because of personal interests, and I received responses from all over the world, I made the RFP not because I don't write well as some cretin dunces suggested but because I have genuine interests. Ha Ha and you thought is was only about the Benjamin and the dead presidents?? WRONG!
For years I have done exactly what I have wanted to even though I have had to pay for it. Generally I don't think people generally fully appreciate the detail circumstances regarding deals as FIRSTLY they didn't come to me as an equal willing to do business in making a deal which I finance.
Most often, or often as new or first time authors they wanted me to review, critique comment on, correct etc on what they were doing, as if they were seeking approval in some process of validation of them as if I were a teacher, mentor, friend, relative, which I don't have time for as I get thousands of emails a week (sorry kids).. WORK that I am creatively always seeking to find a way to handle in a cost effective manner (real MBA type lingo) so screw it you'll have to figure it out sometimes on your own. I even had blasts from the past. In any case if you can sneeze at what I am trying to do you must have enough money, and do not to need mine with the fish mongering/haggling on top of it. FIRST BE REAL don't pretend you are what you are not because I start out apathetic of it all
If all you want to do is publish then that doesn't require much at all:
1. Send me a script that moves me (send it to me on trust or copyright it then send me a copy, copyright filing service extra), send a confidentiality agreement if you like (it never hurts to try).
2. Make me a well balanced/reasonable proposal offer for me to consider regarding acquisition of rights to publish.
3. Ask me to respond within a time frame (if I need more time I'd state so).
3. Upon tentative approval by the parties send/or fax exchange proposed contractual information, negotiate the details..
4. Since normally I charge $25 - 250 an hour for that kind of legal work (deposited and paid some what upfront):
So I have to be very interested, you have to be good, able, willing, and sort of well known at least somehow some where etc (HAVE MARKETING POSSIBILITIES) if not there are today many fine opportunities depending on what you want to do..
If you want to retain the rights to what you do but technical assistance that's OKAY
I can produce, edit and rewrite anytime, anywhere but again that will cost you cash and up front, with cash and performance guarantees for salaries, equipment, and production and travel expenses costs, fees etc.
I WARN YOU I DON'T COME CHEAP, AM VERY DEMANDING (for guaranteed results I demand full control, respect, and am temperamental)

I AM ON THE EAST COAST LOCATED CLOSE NYC PHILLY PITTSBURGH CHICAGO DETROIT BOSTON MEMPHIS NASHVILLE BUT WILL WORK ANY WHERE IF YOU PAY FOR IT HAVE MINIMUM NEEDS AND TRAVEL EXPENSES
You need musicians I'll get you musicians but the question is are you ready? For there is a difference in speculation deals, and contract deals that is the first thing because you can not treat both as if they were the same.
If you provide the financing its a contract deal for services you would like, if it is a speculation deal if you are any good maybe I will consider you depending on how I feel in the total sense. BTW it costs about $10 per hour to hire an employee at McDonalds including Workmen's Comp etc so my rates are competitive.
UPDATE Blogs are Blogging Publishing is Publishing
HI
Sorry Excuse me I am trying to answer issues that come up with many people besides you.
But if you wish to publish I am interested I prefer a whole manuscript. I too wrote for use in blogs, email groups etc but there these mega corporations receive free content to attract more people with and pay little if anything.
Here I am following a model which will not disappoint new upstart poet writers or even established ones as I am following a business model founded by Moses Asch and Marian Distler in 1948.
So if you can dig up a manuscript of original work for me to consider in that complete context it would be best appreciated without any further comment. If some wish to be a pawn of the Fortune 400 please be my guest.
Its a project of free creative expression please feel free
nothing probably could offend me that much at times
I will not narrow it down in fear you would be conforming your work to suit me (DON'T) yours
Generally I am requiring a finished manuscript before considering publication/ so as to see close to what will be the full context on publishing.
Long Term Catalog Sales
As to rates and matters generally I am flexible on depending on the total picture. Provisions regarding reversion of rights to the author would not neccessarily be appropiate as an issue.
Whereas some have put works under contract then stopped printing them and taken them out of circulation.
It is my intention to have a long term publishing project with those works under contract being from then on in print and in some manner paying.
It is not merely a matter of print but complete packing, including book and recordings.
I hope thsi would be of some help and does not meet your disapproval, and even in that case open to discussion
I repeat:
Wanted legal rights to publish original poetry work from original author in 5.5"x8.5" format, 40-64 pages (equals approx 20-32 letter size format single spaced). Must be in finished manuscript form submitted with personal particulars and brief resume (1 page). Contractual obligations are involved parties must have legal rights to original work.
This will be a long term contract for multiple books. So if you think you've got what it takes to be professional let's see. A manuscript of the size I mention is not too long and could take a month to write (maybe less maybe more).
Good luck
Best wishes

ISBNs and censorship

This is not about China so anyone harping on such a thought will feel the wrath they deserve as cold war throwbacks, it actually is about how society has become perverted as a machine and how artists have often for the most part accepted it. It is my slap in their face for with all the slanders I have endured and blacklistings I have suffered they in their control of those institutions which may oppose such attacks do little and in stead play the dupes in what was the cold war and today is merely oppression.
ISBNs are used as a means of book censorship in the People's Republic of China. For a printer to legally print a run of books, they must have an ISBN, which are assigned in blocks to state owned publishing houses. However, since the 1990s, this means of censorship has become much less effective as state publishing houses, which have been weaned from government subsidy like all state owned enterprises, will now sell ISBNs to the highest bidder without regard to the content." (Wikistupidity)
But little if anything has been said about such instruments of oppression in other countries, intrinsicly I believe organizations like the ACLU, PEN, ASCAP, NAMI, and AI have been oppressions's greatest friends while they fund raise and make claim to the contrary.Intrinsiclly I hate being asked for my ID, my social security number and I am against any form of indexing as it is related to publications including:
ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) CODEN (An identifier of serials, still in use by libraries, but replaced by ISSN for any new work) DOI (Digital Object Identifier) ISAN (International Standard Audiovisual Number) ISMN (International Standard Music Number) ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) ISWC (International Standard Musical Work Code Library of Congress Control Number SICI (Serial Item and Contribution Identifier)
I address the issue almost religously from the position of a pamphleteer So....oooo why the hell do I have to pay as an author publisher for the bullet of my own execution?
Why is the internet administered by quasi-supra-intra-governmental agencies at the beckon of international monopolies and police military intelligence oppression which is the prime if not only issue as we have no rights?

PICKING A NEW POPE (out of the mouths of babes)
the girl said "we need leaders to tell us what to do",
the boy said "i admire how they took a vow of silence, then discussed picking a new pope"
.jpg)
About the time of the last pope's selection it was said that Jesus Christ was already amongst us" then they picked John Paul II
The latest pope picked does not represent the body of Jesus as it is represented by the RC church's members, nor those who selected him but a political process which suits no religious, altruistic, ethical or moral purpose.

So So Special
Life just seems so unfair so depressing it reeks of misery but then again there are the beautiful people, America the Beautiful for whom nothing seems to go wrong. The thin sleek trimlined tailfins rushed out some factory for which nothing seem can go wrong. | |
> | God what the hell do you think does it are some people just lucky and some not? Under the hot sun toiling and barely scraping by in life are people for no other reason but circumstance are who and what they are. We'd like to think we are special but after we are just one of many. |

Mikis Theodorakis reacts:
against the US State Department
against the US State Department

Theodorakis reacts against the State Department (link to the original)
Author: eZ publish admin Publishing date: 13.01.2005 11:25
This year the US State Department's report - July 2003 - December 2004 - concerning anti-Semitism in the world, criticized Greece and especially Mikis Theodorakis (lWikipedia Brief Biography link) concerning his statements from November 2003.
At that time, the composer presenting a new book, criticised the policy of Sharon, saying that it leads the Jews to "the root of evil".
His statement, wrongly quoted became: "The Jews are the root of evil, and despite all declarations by the composer, this was how things were considered, while an ugly campaign against him started and lasted for several month.
The new report of the State Department "which would do better to analyse US-crimes in Iraq and all over the world!" provoked a harsh reaction of the composer:
DECLARATION
"As I clarified with my interview in the newspaper "Haaretz" of Israel (BLOG NOTE: A moderate progressive PRO-ISRAEL LABOR PARTY NEWSPAPER), and as it became absolutely comprehensible from the big majority of the population in Israel, I am not an anti-Semite. On the contrary, with my political action and my artistic work I showed in each occasion my support and my solidarity with all oppressed peoples, among them the Hebrew population, and this especially in difficult periods.
What I do not agree with and what I have denounced, is the policy of Sharon that I consider inhuman against Palestinians, dangerous for the peace and defamatory for Israel."
Athens 6.1.2005
Mikis Theodorakis
BLOG NOTE: Mr. Theodorakis is currently a member of Synaspismos a Greek Left Political Party (click for web site) As a comrade I do not think he is anti-semitic in any manner, but instead is once again a victim of the shortsighted opportunistic cheap self-serving political views of the US government determined by the political flavor of the month club resident there and in the White House of Washington DC. which this author encourages you to protest.

Pleased to meet you

Bush and Republicans Pay Back

BrainDead Electoral Support

Schiavo Act Allows Bush and Republicans To Pay Back BrainDead Electoral Support But are the opposition merely reacting? If the ahole conservatives and liberals were consistent preservation of life (across the board) wouldn't be all that bad (except conservatives hypocritically add that convicted criminals must be executed and our country must always be supported in foreign wars for the sake of "god & country" (when actually they lead the nation to [madness, poverty & ruin).

Springtime for Hitler
plagerized in an original manner
Germany was having trouble, what a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore its former glory
Where oh where was he? Where could that man be?
We looked around, and then we found, the man for you and me,
And now it's ...
Springtime for Hitler and Germany,
Deutschland is happy and gay.
We're marching to a faster pace,
Look out, here comes the master race.
Springtime for Hitler and Germany,
Winter for Poland and France.
Springtime for Hitler and Germany,
Come on, Germans, go into your dance ...
I was born in Dusseldorf, and that is why they call me Rolf.
Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party.
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
(Gun fires twice)
Goose-step's the new step today
(Machine gun fires)
Bombs falling from the skies again,
(Bomb falls and explodes)
Deutschland is on the rise again
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
U-boats are sailing once more
[woman's voice]: "Well! Talk about bad taste!"
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Means ... that ... soon we'll be going ...
We've got to be going ...
You know we'll be going to ... WAR!

Mexican Middle Class Women Offer Bandaid Approach

Retirement home prepared for Mexican prostitutes
Wed Mar 16, 8:23 PM ET MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Reuters Photo
Empty Space
Empty Space such waste
Again with only crayons to set the pace
Faster Learner Scribler, Toddler, saboteur, spy
A heavy drinker, a sick drunken nibbler
Pawing at the pavement in a nightmare
Pacesetter abandoned by his mother
Drawn by city lights, ambition
Backyard politicians' demogogues with long hair
Sales personal, religion, thinking, speaking
Tormented in endless eternities a sea of souls
Stick fingers in your ears all yee who enter here
Close eyes and repress memories of decapitated heads
Ruthless steel fingers puncture skulls
Poking out eyes, then picking a cold can of beer
Grabbing indiscrimately roasted flesh
Wild dawgs of war wounded and fatally maimed
Tortured cries is what is heard
You know dear the Simpsons are coming over

Angelino
