William Gibson on Movies, Music, Media

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

automatic_jack writes "William Gibson gave a talk at the Directors' Guild of America's Digital Day last week. The text of it is up in his 'blog, and in it he says some intriguing things about the nature of the entertainment and media industries. There's a bit of a surprise conclusion at the end!"

    Since you have recieved karma for a simple cut and paste of Mr. Gibson's work I wonder if you can be sued.

    Sure it's only karma not money, it's not like you can go down to Krispy Kreme's and buy a chocolate glazed and a coffee with karma, but you still profited, you recieved something for someone else's work without even giving credit to the original author! The only thing you wrote was 'In case of a sh,4sj0b' and at least to me that dosen't say 'Written by William Gibson reproduced with permission'.

    Wow.

    I heard William Gibson is a fucking queer.
    William Gibson is reportedly a fucking hack who couldn't write for the stroke story mags you find listed in the back of Hustler.
    A published writer, William Gibson, needs a web log? He had better be thirteen years old, wearing black nail polish and playing Joy Division over and over again while crying over some boy.

    You are deserving of a trademarked bullet in the back of your head for writing "'blog" instead of "blog".

    The Slashdot staff is deserving of watching their loved ones get raped, murdered and chopped into tiny bits so they can be fed to CowboyNeal before their horrified eyes.

    Mod me down but the truth will set you free!
