maybe your jewelery isn't sufficiently different to enact some kind of restriction on others. hard to say. but ..
Oh it's sufficient. It's unique, and if someone thinks copying is the way to go, C'est la vie!The important difference (for moi) is the pleasure derived from the creation, which cannot be copied. My tears of joy or excitement within cannot be taken and as only one part of this planet it matters not. Also music stuff for me is all about seeing it live, (Neil Young yay!!!) I will gladly part with the cold hard cash to see the artist perform. See that is where I just dont fit in.

he could have if mark hadn't already sampled it and released it under his own name as an original work. now the onus is on jon to prove he came up with it first and that mark willfully plagerised,
That's about where I don't fit in. My difficulty is this as by way of example. I paint a picture, it comes from my head ( not an identical twin, I am but one) Someone sees it, wants it and is prepared to pay for it. At that point I'll say, it cost so and so to make so what do you think you would like to pay for it ? I have never been let down and am rather humbled at others response. I often forget to sign stuff but will if asked. Now if someone wants to copy it, I would be flattered I guess ,not bothered because I only ever do a piece once. (i admit that I do put my thumb print on there somewhere.)
We also have pretty distinctive jewellery that has been made from my parents (and myself) for many years and the copies that have emerged are definitely copies and it has never bothered us because we have made them an affordable original, constantly changing the designs but keeping the master idea and the proof is in the knowing where you get them, and that keeps them exclusive, because they are rare. That,s all really.Creativity for me is not about protection. -
went all abstract on us jon.
I reckon jon could copyright that. ;)

Surely any political party is already a coalition,one of like minded individuals who may agree or disagree on a given policy, but compromise/negotiate to achieve common objectives. So a coalition government is merely an extension of this principle?
And to achieve that coalition, the compromise will involve all manner of parties( like NZF, which personally I thought,many here were pretty quick to lynch) which is why it doesn't help when your choices are limited, to go all out "guns blazing" everytime a party member may speak the truth or you feel like stirring a bit 'o'shite. Seems to be a sure fire way of alienating yourself.
What the right needs is their version of the Greens - a socially conservative (but not foaming at the mouth..
Then who would replace ACT ? Oh I see... you said "not foaming" :) ...Eh? The Greens foam? I need Coffee.I go now.

Joe strikes me as more of an ACT guy. He doesn't seem to like taxes very much.
That "Joe" has a bach as well as the boat and I listen to those Joes complain that it's Labour's fault, and National (or Act) will save them,(as they order one more pint of beer while planning their next holiday) but there is some Joes that don't mind the taxes, we are many :)
'Joe The Plumber' doesn't exist,
..Rubbish.I know because I have one(of the some Joes :) I'm going back to "Bob the Builder"

Vote National, get Rogered?
Vote National, get Lynched?
At the very least you get a Sub-Prime Minister.
This is my reminder. It may be a bit old or boring but I imagine Winston will return to rule his roost, because "Joe the plumber" is the "Kiwi Battler"
