I thought no one really cared about these issues...but then again, my
perspective is a bit warped from working out here in Cambodia for the
past 5+ years where IP abuse is the standard (by foreigners, not just
Khmer)...

...there are exceptions, including our show, CAMBOFEST
(www.cambofest.com) - where we seek and receive all permissions or we
don't play the films, see our blog for an interesting story about this
stuff going on here:

But in a developed country like Zurich, that's very surprising - no
excuse really

My two cents
