Some people have mentioned that the anger many of us feel is somehow unjustified or dumb.
I do feel real *anger* when I see this? And I think many of us do. Why? I've been thinking about that. When I see a company "stealing" my video, putting their ads on it, not respecting with attribution or linkbacks, I get angry. I don't think it's because someone is profiting of my work. It's more like, they are *breaking* this new world we are trying to build. They are going against the reason why we are doing all of this, a possibility of a future where we do own our media, at least part of it. And since it's earlly days still, I think we HAVE to shout out about this. We have to make a fuzz. We have to sue, if necessary. If not, 100s of other companies will do the same. We have to set the rules, or they will set them, and that won't be good. And that's why it's good to get angry. Because it makes us take the time to send that email, although we know we won't get a response, to write that blogpost, although it's just a blogpost, to digg that digglink, and so on.
