They mentioned Avarar but didn't even bring up that it's a complete copy of Pocahontas.

As for Kill Bill, I think it was pretty openly a hommage to old Samurai movies.

i thought that thing about rapper's delight was pretty awesome (i never knew that same beat popped up in so many songs).

I don't think it really says much about hollywood's stance toward IP though. I mean, there is a pretty clear difference between borrowing visual or story elements from previous works and selling pirated dvds.

PS* Nero, word. It is maybe even more similar to Fern Gully (sp). But there are plenty of movies that follow a similar plot line. Personally, I see James Cameron's pitch meeting going like this..."It's like Dances with Wolves...BUT IN SPACE!!!!"

I personally refer to the movie as "Dances with Blue People".

Ron Paul is for self-government when compared to the Constitution. He's an anarcho-capitalist. Proof.

Nielso this is an excellent video. However isn't it interesting how he had to add the war in Iraq when everythign else was a private sector target?

Ech... more warmism/finite-earther/overpopulation/soil erosion/overconsumption propaganda.

It's the new religion.

There is a depression because of over-production? What on earth?

I wonder what the computational capacity of the human brain is and how it's calculated.

Nielsio:

David Kramer, Tom Woods, and Peter Klein just recently went back and forth on this issue on the LRC blog here and here in case you missed it.
