Why should a writer make the conscious decision to publish his work with a publisher that intends to give that work away to the public free of charge?

For that matter, why should any publisher make the conscious decision to give away its product? Or its investment, even if that investment is primarily in time and/or labor?

To answer both questions, allow me to cite the current strike by the television and screenwriters’ union now underway in the United States. The reason that the writers and their support teams are striking is that they want to be paid for their work (they are asking for only a few cents per dollar made by studios and producers) as it becomes available on the Internet. They understand that within a very short time all content now available only on television will be predominantly available online, and they further realize that if they are not entitled to royalties from that medium, then they will be working for free.

The fact is that some television and screenwriters already have such clauses in their contracts, but it is also true that most have never collected a single penny of that money from the studios, so they too are supporting the striking writers.

Now, let’s suppose, for a moment, that the studios give in to the demands of the writers and agree to pay them a percentage of revenues derived from airing shows online. Will this solve the problem at hand? I maintain that it will not. Because what is to prevent someone from simply copying the material aired online and distributing it (either for a profit or free of charge) to anyone who wants to view it? The traditional answer to such a question is the enforcement of copyright law; but anyone who has even a modicum of experience on the broadband-delivered Internet understands that such laws are, by the nature of the medium itself, not enforceable. Even if a few of the pirates could be caught and brought to justice, and an example made of them, the vast majority of those engaging in distributing content illegally would escape detection. The reality is that it is simply impossible to police the entire worldwide web for piracy. And as more and more content is distributed freely to consumers, the financial value of that content must decline, until the monetary value is, in the end, zero.

So why not give away the content from day one? Why not scrap the old system of royalty payments for writers (and other artists) in favor of a system more appropriate to the evolving medium?

That is exactly the position of Open Books. It is also the position of The Real News. In fact, many forward-thinking organizations already understand that the way writers and artists are traditionally paid must change. The prolific and pedestrian nature of online productions (it is not overstating the issue to assert that many consumers have already abandoned their televisions, or the local book barn, or the cinema multiplex in favor of the Internet as their primary source of receiving media (and we are admittedly still in the very beginning stages of user-supplied content, which even such traditional networks as CNN already solicit and embrace), demand a radical re-thinking of business models that are now essentially outdated. Whether such content is news, or the latest political book, or a literary novel, or even the latest sit-com or satire, traditional sources of production will no longer maintain the exclusivity they have long enjoyed, and that’s good news for everybody except those traditional producers. Quantity will surely increase; quality will command a premium from consumers. Variety will thrive, even as price declines.

Now, back to the initial question posed by this article: Why should writers publish their work with a publisher that intends to give it away free to the public?

The answer is, if not obvious, certainly inescapable: a system such as the one employed by Open Books (or by The Real News, or even by the Public Broadcasting System in the U.S.) – which is to develop and maintain a network of voluntary contributors, or patrons – is not only inevitable, but desirable, because it encourages the reconstitution of quality content (and patrons will presumably demand quality – or at least value – in return for their contribution), and because the producer is no longer responsible or beholding to shareholders. Under such a business model, the content comes first; funding for that product is voluntary and comes after production, and even after distribution and consumption.

I think one can see why the growth of the Internet – especially now that it is supplied at more than a megabyte per second – is sounding the death bell for the royalty system of payment for content providers. Even as screenwriters strike for a miniscule portion of an ever-shrinking pie, many forward-thinking producers of content are already embracing new ideas and new models of compensation. Open Books, for example, is able to pay writers 25% of revenues derived from the publication of their work – three and a half times what they might earn from conventional royalties (not to mention distributing an additional 25% back into the arts community, as well as funding literacy programs). In addition, Open Books’ online publications are distributed immediately and instantly to a world wide audience at virtually no cost (in comparison with paper book publishers that must pay ever-increasing costs for materials and labor and transportation and damaged products and returns and recycling), and the potential readership is many times greater than it is with even the largest conventional book publishers. Not to mention that the possibility for publicity is also many times greater, and many times cheaper to initiate. The only catch is this: Will the consumer voluntarily support the publisher, the product, and the artist, or will he simply consume the product without paying anything? After all, there is nothing to stop him from doing so, just as there is nothing to stop pirates from appropriating content once it is available online.

We at Open Books believe that consumers are indeed willing to pay for what others make available, providing it supplies him with the type of content (and the quality) he wants. In fact, this system has been working for PBS (Public Broadcasting System) and for NPR (National Public Radio) in the US for years. The Real News (a new, viewer supported online news channel in Canada) is in the process of launching its effort to coincide with the 2008 presidential campaign in the USA. Here at Open Books – new to this model as we are – we have already received unsolicited donations from those who appreciate the books we have thus far published online and offered for free. And in fact, everyday we find new viewers visiting our web site that have arrived there by using keyword searches containing the words ‘free’ and ‘books’ and ‘online’. Even as we navigate such uncharted waters, we already understand that finding our audience is more a matter of ‘connecting the dots’ than anything else. We believe that the desire for quality content has never been greater, even if it remains for the time being underground.

We also believe that the medium itself has determined an inevitable new reality – in content, in presentation, in promotion, and most of all in payment to producers. We at Open Books invite all writers – previously published or not, unknown or famous – to consider publishing online and offering their work to the public free of charge. We believe that payment will not only be forthcoming, but that the level of quality will experience an unprecedented reconstitution. And that is indeed the best of all worlds!

Why are typical american parents so f-ing useless & irresponsible where it comes to sex ed for their kids.

Look at this site clearly nobody is doing their job or if there were no teen would be messing up or need to ask for help as they would have been taught all the typical answers here 10 times over before their 11 birthday and have know all the answers to can they get pregnant if they guy pulls out, it was this time of the month they were dry humping etc.

Clearly using this site as a guide 12,13,14,15,.16 ,17 year olds are not children as children dont like kissing dating and have no interest in sex,.

But teenagers do, and will ac on it and unless have facial deformities or asbergers sysndrom or cronic shyness are unlikely to abstain for long.

You dont see these issues with european socialist parents and teengers as they have proper education from age four so they know it all long before needed and have been practiign with condoms over and over.

they all know how the pill, nuva ring, mornign after pills, condoms etc all work

who why dont all these americans and brits?

The dont have the level of teen pregancies infact the Neitherlands has a 1/10 of the US and 1/20 of stds rates so clearly the yabnks dont have a clue and are for the most part with a few excpetions a waste of space who should be sued for negligence.

European systems are based around teaching her how to think and creating open relationships where she knows she can discuss things open with parents and teachers, saying how shes feeling, how far going with boyfriends in teens, and wont have any qualms about gettign contrception as its second nature.

Anyone who would wait till their daughter reaches puberty for sex ed deserves they teeth smashed in with a brick for child abuse.

How do you think that girl would feel when blood starts flowing out from between her legs

Screaming in terror , begging for help… thinking she is goign to die… and folk here would do that to their kid esepcailly when others around them who are educated would just laugh in her face?

You dont give one lesson you bring your kid up from age four or so to view sex, their sexaul organs and processes from erections to mositening to desires to masterbation, foreplay feelings, need for cuddles, kissing, how couples fall in love as normal and natural and a part of life with no relgious so called morality nonense , no words like fornication, slut whore etc either.

They are taught its normal for their body to start changing around 9 and expressions like her body would form something resembling a baby feeding cushion once a month (but explain the proper terms) which gets shed so an offspring would have a fresh bed to connote the right attitude and that it means shes growing into a young woman. Whilst using an analergy like that for the emotional response you do teach it all in medial detail.

The european system is not a one off embarrased lesson but constant lessons and covering it in its natural sense as something she should enjoy when done right with the right person. You teach how making love is different to rape/peadophila and self defence. You point out how she will start to find boys facinating and they later will see her the same way how the fertily singlas she will give out give her power from guyd desiring her and how guys cant help looking at breasts. Whilst she will like muscels.

That kissing will help humand bond as well as be part of mating. how in humans sex is not simply to make babies but part of what helps form couples and holds them together. How you dont similar do it one way but many and that realtionships include semi sexaul actity from kissing and fondling to oral sex etc and that is all part of being human and its not bad.

Thats being bad is when you deliberately hurt or put others at risk .

Thats she will need to goonto contrception from early teens and why its wiser to build things up slow ideally waiting till mid to late teens to start having sex but having practiced dating and foreplay before.

Thats most times relationships wont be forever but to treat these as learning experienced… To cover all aspects of pregancy and basics in bringing up kids. Finance, how hard it is being a monther showing why its best to wait till mature and stable and having had lots of experience. Covering how exactly you can get pregant with or without sex and understanding pre cum and how pulling out never works how sperm goes through underwear and covering in detail what it is they will do and how it helps prepare the body.

Body language, how here choice of clothing will reflect fertility levels. How she will be able to knowfi a guy likes her and get his attention and how to handle rejection and being fumped and nicely dumping and rejecting others to minimse hurt.

That she will masterbate why and how and that its normal as

After our hectic daily work schedule, we always seek to relax by listening some of the soothing songs to rejuvenate our soul. With the technology developing every day, the kids are always attracted towards animated cartoons and high tech video games. But it is also a fact that music still seems to a viable method for enhancing the imaginations of children. As music is the universal language of mankind we cannot ignore its importance in our lives.

Music sometime plays therapeutic role to stimulate our hormones. People of every age, class and society love to hear soft and melodious songs. Children often listen to those musics which are played by their parents. So it is very essential for the parents to have a good taste and develop the habit of hearing great music tracks in their children. Kids start learning music lessons from their preschools, as they are taught various songs and rhymes. In fact, music lessons are given more precedence than other subjects in their early years of schooling. This is particularly done to engage the kids in doing good and productive work.

Music is the only sensual pleasure without vice. However, there are various types of music which are specially composed to cater the specific group of music lovers. As the metal and the pop music serve the over active music enthusiast, love and romantic songs are liked by the emotional persons. Moreover, for kids the children’s music can serve their purpose. It has been found that kids suffering from learning disabilities and developmental delays readily respond to music. Thus, it can be said that music can even help to boost response mechanism in individuals. Music is the most powerful source of entertainment for the children. If they are exposed to it from the very early age then the sense of adventure and excitement would be developed in them.

Children’s music is believed to be very exciting and powerful as it helps to develop both interpersonal and intrapersonal aspects among the kids. It even supports the kid to augment her or his functional abilities and enhance the creative and expressing capabilities. It is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing. It even helps to develop the social skills of a kid. People always tend to stay away from their homes to attend their office or some other work. The main thing that affects the development of a child is that he or she has to spend all the time alone or doing other messy things. As such when there are so many options available in the market these days, it is wise to take advantage of these resources. Advancement and innovation in technology had offered many amazing gadgets to maximize our comfort level. You can pick an efficient and durable music player to ensure that your kids have pleasurable time when you are away. You can also opt for the music tracks which are specially composed for the kids and are categorized as children’s music.
