A Video And Two Comments

The Video:



The First Comment:

I think this is great. And I also think that Disney will not take this down. They will use other methods than the standard DMCA take down notice.
They might do something like they did with me via their ABC subsidiary.

One of the things that people should know is that Beck is not making money for Fox right now. He is being subsidized by them.

Beck is not delivering a good ROI to the Newscorp investors, unless it is going to come in some form other than direct revenue.
Today in the New York Times Magazine the author said that 296 advertisers have decided to pull their ads from the show. This is because of the actions of Color of Change and the guy who runs StopBeck.

Think about that for a moment. In what other venue would a money losing show be kept on the air for months at a time? So much for the "market" deciding.


The Second Comment:

Beck manufactures economic fear and sells overpriced gold to unsophisticated investors

Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
