ok, almost okay

Ok, I'm going to buy two copies simply cos I am dead interested but do you really need to charge to pay for expenses ? There are better ways to fund. Another week and I couldn't afford this - and so what is the point in publishing it at all if your core-readership is unable to purchase ?

General tip to anyone producing anything that costs - it has to be free or damn cheap to be effective, Pay for it yourself, pay for it however, charge the waged more to subsidise the unwaged but don't insult the rest of us with 'concessions'. We can't even afford concession-rates - we are constantly broke fighting the fight you are profitting by speculating about.


You know you could have just published your article here and noone would have accused you of acting like Pepsi Cola prostitutes - and you would've reached a far wider audience. Grrr. Put it down to internet rage, I haven't been online for a while so today I am having a go at everybody. Bugger off, it's not really your knowledge so you shouldn't charge even for distribution, luvin peas,

"Pepsi Cola prostitutes" FFS!

Come on Danny, it's a fucking quid!! I'm on the dole too. Get real FFS, at that price they'll barely be covering costs.

quid pro quo

04.09.2006 20:51

If it's only a quid then why isn't it free ? Bear in mind I was planning to buy two copies, but while on the dole I have pirated umpteen copies of the Corporation, FTA and Ani Difranco to give away and I funded it all myself ( or thru robbery). A quids a quid, amazing what you can buy in a pound shop, two loaves of bread. Might not mean much to you but it does to some of us. I know this seems the most reasonable advertisement on the net but it still is an advert and so can get to fuck if they can't be bothered publishing the text here for free. Since you've just pissed me off I'm going to buy a copy, scan it it in and publish it here for free so nobody else bother buying it. Fuckin champagne socialists.

Revolution for sale !

Robbery?!

04.09.2006 22:07

I'VE pissed you off, so you're going to buy one copy of this pamphlet instead of two?! Well I'm sure the people who produced it must be in tears about that! I don't need to be told about £1 shops or about poverty mate, I've been on the dole since 1979 (except when I've been in prison. Be good to see it up on Indymedia, if people want to read a post that'd otherwise run to 18 pages, and Indymedia want to host it. However, a lot of people will still prefer the hard copy, and don't begrudge paying £1 for it. Are you saying that every book or pamphlet produced by the movement is somehow robbery? I've produced plenty of free stuff myself over the years, and make everything I write available to download, but don't you think you're being just a wee bit insulting referring to people like Stuart Christie and Brian Bamford as "champagne socialists" and "Pepsi cola prostitutes?! They're people who've made life-long commitments to Anarchism, not to making money. You should be ashamed of yourself, if you don't want to buy the pamphlet fair enough, but how about keeping your spiteful comments to yourself? Just log off the next time you have "internet rage".

Danny to the rescue!

04.09.2006 22:22

Sod AK Press. If I post up a list of books could you just steal them and post them up on here for me Danny? I wouldn't want to waste valuable squids on those greedy anarchist publishers.

Thank you


Amazing

04.09.2006 22:42

"If it's only a quid then why isn't it free ?" Amazing logic!! Danny, you should invent a new skool of mathematics, right after you founded your free publishing house!!!

Unlike you, Stuart Christie has long history of publishing, (which has almost always got him into personal debt) I wouldnt want to insult the man but I suspect he's probably getting a bit long in the tooth to be commiting robberies so you don't have to spend the price of a half pint (if you're lucky) on what sounds like an interesting read.

'what is the point in publishing it at all if your core-readership is unable to purchase ?'

'CORE-READERSHIP'??!!! I doubt that. You sound like a bloody idiot.

Bread-Heads?

At £1 I'd be surprised if this booklet isn't being subsidised anyway. I'm sure the publishers would love to make it available to the public for free, but like most of us they live in the real world, where printing has to be payed for.

(by the way, I go in a lot of Pound shops myself and I've never seen bread in any of them)

"Be good to see it up on Indymedia, if people want to read a post that'd otherwise run to 18 pages, and Indymedia want to host it."

So - Red Danny, don't you want to intervene here and just publish the damn thing for free ? I am interested in the text but unless you are donating the money to relatives of victims of Franco then I will rip you off.

"However, a lot of people will still prefer the hard copy, and don't begrudge paying £1 for it."
Aye, cunts with jobs ! Are those the target audience ? Fuck you then.

"Are you saying that every book or pamphlet produced by the movement is somehow robbery? "
Yes I am. Got a valid argument against that or are you just mouthing off ? Why shouldn't all knowledge be free ? Your ideas don't belong to you, especially when you are describing common history.

"I've produced plenty of free stuff myself over the years, and make everything I write available to download, but don't you think you're being just a wee bit insulting referring to people like Stuart Christie and Brian Bamford as "champagne socialists" and "Pepsi cola prostitutes?! "

Yes, I'm being insulting but two quid is a lot for me as I'm sure you appreciate. Good on you by the way- why can't your 'names' do the same as we did ?

"They're people who've made life-long commitments to Anarchism, not to making money. You should be ashamed of yourself, if you don't want to buy the pamphlet fair enough, but how about keeping your spiteful comments to yourself? "

I'm not spiteful, just broke and interested. I'm going to buy the fucking pamphlet but if it is interesting at all then I will will redistribute it for free - and it costs nought to publish here. Expenses my arse. What fucking expense does it cost to publish on IM ? And why should IM host even worthy ads ?

"Just log off the next time you have "internet rage""
And just log off yourself next time you want to sell what should be common currency. You are not my enemy - my enemies charges more for less - but my criticism is valid and you and your 'names' should try harder in future. Knowledge is power and so worthy knowledge paid for by others blood should be free. Did you or your names die in Spain ? Nah. Were the Internationales charging for their own expenses? Aye, right. Dead uncle before you ask. Do I have to pay to read about him ? Should I copyright my future actions ? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

JOKE

04.09.2006 23:17

"Are you saying that every book or pamphlet produced by the movement is somehow robbery? "

"Yes I am."

You're a JOKE pal!

(Be intersting to see where YOU are in 5 years time, let alone the decades that Christie and Bamford have been involved.)

N.O.


Thankin you

04.09.2006 23:19

Yes, I could publish any book here that you request, if it is a worthy text that I can get hold of and if IM let me publish it here. Damn simple to do and damn suspicious that we still have to pay to liberate ourselves intellectually.

Really, fuck copyright, and fuck the so-called anarchists who charge 'expenses'. That means you AK Press, that means every middler class anarchist who prices their services. Expenses my arse, half the bleedin anachists I know and love are on the take. I forgive you but many can't afford to.

$$$$$$$ £££££££ oh, it's in a good cause...hahaha

Hi Danny,

Do you think you could publish 'Sabate - Guerrilla Extroardinary' by Antonio Tellez please?

Thank you


dannysbooks.com

04.09.2006 23:33

Why don't you set up your own site Danny? It costs almost nothing and you seem to have plenty of time on your hands. You could publish all the books you wanted on there (after all most anarchist stuff is anticopyright.)

And you'd be so busy maybe you'd stay off Indymedia!

Anarcho-capitalists-fakirs

04.09.2006 23:48

Don't you just love 'em ? They sell freedom for a price, much like fascists do. Will look out your book and publish it much later ( unless you all promise to payme a quid). Really, shame on all off you. 'Hello pretty girl, I will publish your photos for a quid'. Shame on you profiteers, shame on your indulgence. Adverts for common-knoiwledge on IM - what a bunch of fakirs.

I know there are real anarachists out there becuase I read about their actions - for free -n here everyday. You profiteering lying scum can go to America as far as I care. My body and my ideas are free, while you preostitute others sacrifice for 'expenses'. BTW In 5 years time I will be exactly where I was 5 years ago, while you fakers will be earing good money selling Fanta to Africa.

Point to one action posted here that you have contributed to or stop trying to profit from other peoples suffering. I would prefer an honest fascist for a friend than you hypocritical capitalists.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Danny: Our Saviour

04.09.2006 23:59

Praise Bakunin! At last, a REAL Anarchist! Danny, you are our saviour! What did the Anarchist movement ever do without you? Now you have saved us from the anarcho-capitalist fakirs who've been robbing us blind for years, what pray is Point 2 on your agenda? Could we get a move on please though, it's a week 'til Giro day, and I could with a revolution now, if that isn't asking too much Your Wholeiness.

What happens next in Dannyworld?

05.09.2006 00:03

So what do Indymedia readers think, what is going to happen to Danny next?

1) He will be arrested as the No1 Enemy Of The State.

2) The 'Men in white coats' will take him away to a rubber room.

3) His mum will tell him to get to bed.

4) He'll choke on his gluebag.

5) He'll wake up.

N.O.


Nice

Some old guys publish a cheap booklet about the Spanish civil war, and they're slagged off as fascists and capitalists. Nice.

In defence of poor anarchists - in the face of fascists

05.09.2006 01:11

Hah, I'm not a 'real-anarchist' though I know know for a fact none of you are either since you only demand cash and can't point to a single action and only respect 'names' who falsely do. Whatever anyone thinks of me you have exposed yourselves as fakers. You talk, and charge the rest of us cash to listen. You yourselves are now my enemy - well done. my wannabe Blairs, my incompetent Murdochs. Anarcho-capitalist scum are the same as fascists to any reasonable observer. You are Bush/Blair writ large. I do notice without irony that you concentrate on my least-offensive post and yet none of you can point to a single action that you have participated in nor any repost to my posts. Scum. You scum-sucking bottom dwellers are simply profiteers as Nazi as Blair and Co, as genocidal but worse, yet you sell the Spanish Civil war for personal profit.Worse than fthe fascists imo. Why not yet sell Peter Sutcliffles truths for proftit? You pseuds are what real anarchy aims to replace.. You misrepresresent my argument against pseudo-socialist profiteering ( you are just fake-anarchist because you obviously fail to understand the basic pricinciples of anarchism. Oh the 'names' are under attack - protect then Queen hive mentality You charge for knowledge like every faker, fascist and capitalist and prostitute. Protect the names at any cost !

I was once once offered a blow-job for a pound I declined the service and donated the pound. You are mad and irrational whores if you think you represent true anarchy in the UK. If you want to make martyrs of your named heroes then just continue with your irrational posts. As an real a anarchist, I will happily execute them. Scum sucking profiteers. A pouynd of flesh for every pound you steal from true anarchists.

I can prove you fuck-wits are the equivalents of Nazis - you smear you opponents while remaining inactive and charge cash for to read about genuine anarchists acts.. And yet you pretend to be anarachists - shame on you you fakers, you fucked-up war-profiteers, you petty Nazi-Socialists pretending to be anarchists. You are easily exposed by your profit motive., your cover-price. Wankers! Capialists !
