Jeff Dowder: My Recent Appearance On The Phil Hendrie Show And the Copyright Issue

Jeff Dowder Enterprises Company and Associates.

Phil Hendrie doesn’t understand as I told him last night. The internet is a place where they haven’t been able to tell where it is. It’s a vaporous place. What me, Justin Luey, Chip Shrivel and Mason Koonhand are attempting to do with our tribute sites is embrace the future of the new media safe harbor where they can’t tell you what to do and pay tribute to our favorite comedians but, yes, also, not pay for it.. That’s what I’m trying to say, that’s all….. Now, what would I do if someone stole from me? That’s where Mr. Hendrie thinks he’s got me. I don’t have anything anyone wants to steal but let’s say I did. Okay? First off, I wouldn’t care. I believe in the free harbor. I would want some kind of a time limit, sure. Who wouldn’t? But that doesn’t mean I believe in not being free for everyone. It means that, I do own it and I wouldn’t want it used forever and ever by people. But that’s different from Mr. Hendrie who doesn’t believe in safe use or fair harbor (I might have gotten that backwards) and wants less of a time limit. I know that its confusing to all of you. Here’s what I mean because I know it’s confusing. Me, Justin Luey, Fresco Bungman, Jerry Leontine and all of us who are ontrapanoors simply believe that once something gets copyrighted but then goes out into the internet it has gone beyond where the law is. Does that mean a guy can put up a picture of a nude little kid? No! Not at all and I know Justin, Fresco..all of us agree on that. But it is also kind of tough to say to that guy he doesn’t have a right to be free and put nudes up of little kids…but I wouldn’t do it. I’ve been writing a long time and I know it’s confusing. I’ll also talk to Eric Kahuna about it and he’ll freshen up my writing but it’s something I know I along with Steve Poled, Pat Shitno, Justin Luey and Donald Duck all understand very well. And once we find a lawyer that agrees with us…watch out!

Mr. Dowder is a on-line blogger and ontraponoor. But the only thing he does that anyone has any real interest in is pretend he runs Phil’s web site and drive a snow plow for Huntington Beach, Ca.
