Anatoly,

A second, quick perusal (I looked at it after coming across open studios
community based studios) there is a lot there to digest. This I know, we are
an interdependent world society. We must facilitate it and act like it.
When I was in kindergarten, I learned to share. When I became a musician, I
learned to share. When I learned how to program, I shared. When I share, I
learn. It might be a "selfish" point of view. I just know that sharing is a
good and just thing. What goes around comes around and that's why it's a
revolution, not a movement.

One of the ultimate gifts of music through sharing was from the Grateful
Dead. Although I'm just a regular, like lots of music, kind of guy, Jerry
Garcia's approach of  "Let them have it, once we've played it we're done
with it." (Not the exact quote) but Bob Weir - in a recent interview
attributed the paradigm to Jerry. Although in an interview when napster was
originally around said:  "But the live stuff, man, once we played it, we
played it for people it belongs to them. Expressly. You know, those are my
feelings."

Peace and Music,

Francis Brock
