Robert: Re: "Do you really think Bob Brinker, radio show host to 5 million could care less what a pion does selling notes of Moneytalk?" Yes. Re: " 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." So what. We are talking about a principle here. Re: " If ABC was worried about losing market share I am sure they would have done something by now." I believe they are in the process of doing something as I understand it. Re: "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? ... 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." I used to think along the same lines as you. I now believe it is a core principle of his whether you agree with it or not. So I have come to change my mind. Brinker objects to the sale of the summaries. If they were given away for free, I doubt if he would care in the least.
