PMF Fund Blog
We have released some new features on piratemyfilm over the last few days.
You can now view and search our member database via the member button in the main navigation bar.
On the members page you can order users by various parameters and you can click through to follow that user, allowing you to see their producer blogs on your profile page.
Other users can now follow you also. When a follow is mutual, it becomes a friendship!
Another big feature we have released is the ability to “follow” a project. This allows you to have a live feed of all the activity that is happening around your “followed projects”, so that you can see what is hot, and make reservations based on where the buzz is!
We are releasing more features over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Stacy Summary: Travel across borders for humans is already severely restricted and is getting worse by the day; restrictions against the internet and free thought are increasing at an even more rapid pace; while bankers and capital are given free reign to go in and out as rapidly as they wish. Have created a MySpace page for PirateMyFilm (let’s see how long they allow us to keep it!) – go join/follow/comment while you can!!! What are your thoughts on the European elections?
Updates:
Global military spending rose 4% in 2008 to a record $1,464bn (£914bn) – up 45% since 1999, according to the Stockholm-based peace institute Sipri.
In contrast with civilian aerospace and airlines, the defence industry remains healthy.
“The global financial crisis has yet to have an impact on major arms companies’ revenues, profits and order backlogs,” Sipri said.
Stacy comment: The Global War on Terror as with the War on Drugs are just wars against competition, these alleged wars have created state backed monopolies in which those who dare to compete face multiple lifetime sentences. I know it’s obvious to anyone reading this blog but where are all the parties protesting this? There is only the Pirate Party as far as I can tell . . .

Max Keiser interviewed by Afshin Rattansi regarding the Pirate Bay decision

I pulled the following comments from recent posts:
Max: On the one hand you’re talking about “de-commercialization of art” and on the other you’re saying there are “revenue streams” for PMF.
So which is it?
You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
And:
Max, Nature is the ultimate creative force, who does it pay? It pays itself, it feeds back into itself, creating more diversity through better design. Nature, as culture, is selfishly unselfish, it is a system of favours, a system of mutual appreciation and ultimately a matrix of a trillion trillion trillion moments of piracy.
These two comments sum up the interesting interplay between the economy and the ecology. The economy should mirror the ecology more than not. Even Adam Smith hints at this in his famous works written during the time economic liberalism’s creation during the period of the Enlightenment. What most people equate with a ‘fast growing economy’ is nothing of the sort. Any economy or any component of an economy that is growing faster than the host economy or host political system or country has to be considered more cancerous than organic.

Came across this blog from a regular. Very interesting ideas. Would love to read your comments on this:
As an indie film maker myself I am quite interested o see how [PirateMyFilm] will work out. It has already created noise on the internet. I personal think this a great idea an it fits in quite nicely with the physical and mental DNA idea.
Culture is the primary and ultimate opensource software platform. Our heritage, our everything, is drawn from an infinite pool of genetic cultural accidents.
Thought experiment _ If we replace “ideas” with “Strands of DNA”, and think of culture as an evolutionary system. Owning and withholding strands of DNA would most definately result in the devolution of mankind. It wouldn’t make sense to expect people to pay to use a certain part of a genetic structure and if that was the case what would be the price of an eyeball. Its fair to say that, we would live in a world of disease ridden idiots and ultimately genetic pirates. People who copy and distribute the DNA people want and need would be made criminals by unreasonable laws.

Micah M. White has a new blog up on AdBusters; “Support Online Piracy”
He says:
“There is no swifter way to bring about the de-commercialization of art than to undercut the profit motive. Likewise, there is no better way to promote a blackspot culture than to actively copy and distribute the cultural productions that speak to us and the future we’d like to build. If we pirate everything, how will the artists get paid? That is precisely the point: piracy opens up the possibility of imagining new ways of being and new ways of supporting the potential of art to change the world.”
To the extent that I am correctly (or incorrectly) interpreting White’s comments, I agree that de-commercialization is necessary as a means to reinvigorate our public spaces and our public discourse. I see the current media and commerce market as a zero sum game where every dollar, inch, and minute gobbled up by private interests means a commensurate loss of the public’s interest. I agree that the artists will create art regardless of any profit motive. The overwhelming majority of art and culture that has been created by humans has been done so for little or no money. I agree that by draining the entire economic system as it currently exists will exert downward economic pressure on everyone, including artists. They are, however, able to keep producing premium, insightful, highly valued artifacts no matter what’s going on in the economy.
