Google is already negotiating the rights with HBO and Netflix for a
reality TV style show based on the FRIAM archives... While FRIAM
archives are not hosted directly on Google, enough members (even one is
enough) with GMail accounts route the FRIAM digest through Google,
thereby signing away all of our rights.
I hear that Donald Sutherland has been approached to play Nick
Thompson. Any speculations about the remaining caste of characters?
We understand that Sally Field, Nicholas Cage and John Malkovich are all
reading the archives now.
I'm just hoping to get to stunt double for John Malkovitch playing my
role... he'll have to wear a body suit of course.
I especially give them the right to “publicly perform” something I say when I
am discussing inserting things, especially when it refers to places that don’t
receive a lot of solar radiation. They are very welcome to perform such things
in public.

Rememberthat I warned you when you love letters turn up being performed as the libretto for an opera at the S.F Opera. Would you give such power to an organization that cannot spell license?
