Last Friday, we spend a few minutes talking about Kim Dotcom
the founder of Megaupload and the campaign had started
(video included) against the reelection of President Obama for his
policies have been influenced by the pressures of the entertainment
industry United States (principal developer of the closure of Megaupload
and, precisely, has filed suit against Dotcom millionaire).

Openly accusing Hollywood, the response from industry has
not been long in coming and, in response to the publication of an
open letter to industry, signed by the Megaupload manager, Bruce
Leddy writer and director of TV series (Cougar Town, for example)
has decided to publish a response letter lambasting the Dotcom
its business model and his flamboyant life.

Bruce Leddy, writer and director of TV series like Cougar Town, has
decided to publish a letter to The Hollywood Reporter to question
Kim's statements Dotcom and put it in opposition to their lifestyle
and money, according to Leddy, has amassed
"through the work of others ":

I am a current employee of Hollywood and I have friends billionaires
with mansions and Rolls-Royce cars, therefore, that we become
friends anyone could become much more interesting [...] I am
concerned about their assets.

While you are under arrest, who cares for his mansion and all the
cars that were bought with the profits amassed by publishing the
Hollywood movies and TV shows online? The dust accumulates
rapidly in the helicopter, be careful !

On a rather ironic, the writer and director, we review some of the
"excesses" and "luxuries" that have shaped the life of
Kim Dotcom: luxury cars, his mansion, trips, parties, private jets
etc.. Why this attack ?

Dotcom has always pointed out that the Hollywood industry is
behind all the events, ie, closing Megaupload (FBI operation
and collaborationist authorities in New Zealand), but the
point of view of this industry representative is very different
and see the business model Megaupload within the opportunism
of doing business at the expense of others' work:

Hey, since you are under house arrest and can not get out in
time, do you mind if I take a lot of borrowed one of your luxury
cars? That is, if you think about it, basically we belong to the
writers, producers, directors actors and everyone who works
hard every day to make movies and TV series and are not as
smart as you think is the amasses large amounts of money
online making other products.

[...] Hollywood must be in the dark ages. In the future, everyone
should be like Megaupload: free make money from what others
do create or write ...

I'm tired of fooling around writing and directing things to get
a decent wage when they could share the work of others over
the Internet and untold amounts of money. So to even things
out, I decided to start selling all their possessions on eBay
starting with its collection of luxury cars.

That Mercedes Brabus SV12 easily pay college tuition
for my children. Logically their property not mine but if
I can find a country where I can be appropriated for
their things, live in a big.

The truth is that statements of this writer fall into what
anyone would expect and, in my view, is proof of that is
stagnant business model of the industry and its reluctance
to accept the rules of the game are changing or at least
they should change and adapt to new digital media.​
