Not just this
All of you who work to get by. All of you who work because you have to. All of you doing the loveless work, boring work. All of you who didn't pick your job out of passion, I want you to know that YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION. Thank you for cleaning my bathroom in the hospital. To the lady who changed my bed sheets I thank you. Thank you for the shitty plastic cups of Jell-O and warm chicken broth and thank you for taking the trash out of my room. I don't want to deny appreciation to any person, no matter how loveless and boring job they may be doing because the circumstances in their life did the choosing for them. You are all Human Beings and all you ever have to do in life is to BE HUMAN and then DIE.
but also this:
Valenti personifies for me people who live in here and now and are excluded from History and History Making. His interests are here and now and protection of here and now into the perpetual future of here and now. His notion of Copyright, of property is not one of progress of creating works of art so the next artists could draw from the previous. His notion is of a zero-sum copyright, as if there were finite amout of ideas in the world where one has to come up with one and then build a fortress around it so noone else can use it to extend it or derive from it.
