Patrick Ross over at IPCentral has a delightful
post
about George Soros' imminent purchase of the DreamworksSKG film library.
Why is this delightful? Because Soros is a principle financial supporter of just about every wacko Free Culture group out there. Like Public Knowledge and Consumer Project on Technology.
Can't wait to see how long it takes for Soros to put all that public knowledge, all that important culture, out on the Internet for free so everyone can sample it and mash it up to their heart's content.
That is, if Soros' personal business practices are consistent with the ideas he funds through his philanthropy. But they would be, wouldn't they?
Great post, Patrick.
