Boys, boys.....to paraphrase Larry King- "You're both over reacting!" :)

Yes they can, of course. But given how this whole
sampling licence discussion thing was set up by
CC to begin with, with Negativland being the
project leads, and considering that all of our
efforts here have been done on a volunteer basis,
its rather strange that things took this turn
with no discussion about it at all. And even
stranger still is that no one from CC has ever
replied to any of the comments voiced here
about it.
Dunno what to make of that. It may simply be that
the CC crew is swamped and underfunded and
overextended and let this thing slide with out
realizing it (?). Kinda sloppy behavior, yep, but
it happens to the best of us! :)
Hopefully some clarification will be forthcoming.

The point of this list is to discuss this stuff,
not just dismiss opinions. David from LOCA is
taking a tone that is a bit over the top for my
tastes, but he is asking some good questions,
nonetheless. Your reply sounds too much like the
old "hey, if you don't like our country, why
don't you leave!" comment that is directed at
critics of our government. That kind of thinking
stops healthy debate dead in it's tracks. The
point of this list was to have healthy debate!
