Justa, I take issue with your last post. Do you really think Bob Brinker, radio show host to 5 million could care less what a pion does selling notes of Moneytalk? I mean get real! Suppose this Korn guy has 100 subscibers, or even more. That is not even a dent in the money Brinker makes. It is not even a fly on a dent. I read the guys stuff on Suite101 and on Bobbrinker.com and he even pointed out that you could go hear the radio show live. Two points. One, it is not Brinker's show. It is ABC's show. And I recall Brinker saying that Korn was in jail or that ABC had gotton an injunction against him, or some other legal mumbo jumbo. Second point. Why would Brinker really care? Think about it. If this guy refers people to the radio or the archives to listen to the radio show where they can hear word for word what Brinker says, why would he care? If ABC was worried about losing market share I am sure they would have done something by now. Korn guy probably helps the show indirectly by making people talk about it more. One could even make the argument that Brinker stirs up the pot just to make people come to his web site. Perhaps all of the speculation that Brinker is these aliases has been wrong. I mean if you read some of those posts, its like he hates Korn and for what? It doesn't make sense either practically or psychologically. I have a friend who sells notes of his teacher and he makes out pretty well so we were talking about this issue. He doesn't listen to Brinker, but he doesn't think Brinker would care at all. It would be like Walter Cronkite getting mad if someone was selling notes of his news show. No way.
