		<description>It was revealed that Jorge Cortell did not obtain his graduate degrees from accredited universities.

All he did --- went to a community college in the US (which is a level below real college or university) and then got a bunch of first year introductory continuing education courses from Harvard's continuing ed school.

Basically, he is like these first year university student who takes introductory psychology 101 --- and then claims that he is an expert in psychology.</description>

		<description>I´m a spanish University Student. This teacher has enough knockledge about what he said. One of his friends, David_Bravo, is a lawyer that is trying to defend P2P users against SGAE and other groups. He is very famous here, appearing on TV, newspapers, blogs and LAN partys all over Spain. He really knows about spanish laws, and he say "Downloading or sharing music or films is not ilegal if you don´t get economic benefifs with it. Spanish law allows to make a personal backup copy of protected material (CD-Audio, DVD´s...). And sharing this personal backups it´s not illegal".

These spanish groups want to steal money not only to P2P users: if you buy a blank CD, DVD, memory card, etc you are paying $ to this groups because you "could use" them to copy ilegal material, even if you copy your holidays photos. And now they want to get money on every DVD-Recorder, Video-Recorder, Personal Computer, and other electronic items because you can also use it to share ilegal stuff.

Sorry about my english.</description>

		<description>&#62;&#62;&#62;Its yet another example of someone who is in no way in breach of any law having both their livelihood and name besmirched by the machinations of Big Business.

It is against the law in almost every country to give "legal opinions" when you are not a lawyer.

This lecturer is not trained as a lawyer --- but he tried to "prove" the legality of P2P networks.</description>

		<description>Brings to mind the image of Louis B. Mayer, Sam Goldwyn, or Jack Warner screaming, "You'll never work in this town again!" to the fresh-faced girl just off the train from the mid-west who committed some faux pas 5 minutes after signing her studio contract.</description>

		<description>Boy, does this make my blood boil!!!

Its yet another example of someone who is in no way in breach of any law having both their livelihood and name besmirched by the machinations of Big Business. I am sure this gentleman has the requisite wherewithall to ensure that this will not preclude him from earning a decent enough living in the future but not everyone is sufficiently blessed with the opportunity to so do.  It could be anyone, from any walk of life on the receiving end of this kind of treatment.

It strikes me that providing you have enough financial muscle you can do anything to anyone with total impunity even if what they are doing is totally legal, and it sickens me to my guts.

Yet another reason to try to screw up the cartel's hold on our purse strings at every opportunity if you ask me.

Gits.....</description>
