I'm not saying that it wasn't a good experience for the people like Shap who are realizing now that they need to do something. It was a great thing for him to do. And it will pay off for him.

But what was I going to learn? In my opinion...the CPR is the one who "lost" by not having Eric there. He has done more in the real world over the last two years than every "expert" they had put together.

And if I may say...in my own humble way...not having me there is a "loss" for the folks attending as well. I shouted from the rooftops that you CAN protect your content for the last two years. Shap himself told me right here on GFY that he thought I was making a mistake because I was "treating my members like criminals"

Bottom line is...if you don't have the most effective company at the show (Remove Your Content), and your experts are a lot of companies who started up over the last year just to try and cash in on piracy...then how can I "learn" anything from them?

Eric has a story to tell. And in my own little way, so do I. But I can't blame him one bit for not wanting to share a podium with posers and johnny-come-lately's

And I'm not attacking Pink Visual, so calm down. I applaud them for finally opening their eyes.

I'm just stating what I see as the facts. Nobody did a damn thing for a long time. But I did for myself. And Eric did for this industry. And now...he isn't at the CPR?

He should be THE main speaker. But that's just one little guys humble opinion. Take it for what it's worth.
