I believe that all generally useful information should be free. By 'free' I am not referring to price, but rather to the freedom to copy the information and to adapt it to one's own uses... When information is generally useful, redistributing it makes humanity wealthier no matter who is distributing and no matter who is receiving.

Ben and I have ruffled a few feathers with our daily video blog content here at IntownDailyForeclosures.com and IntownDailyHomes.com. We received notice a couple days ago we were breakin' the "compliance and regulation" rules that govern our lovely MLS -- as a result, we've had to take down the public content. Of course, we thought we were badass ... but the rules don't agree with the site and our colleagues in the industry don't agree with our having any kind of opinion about real estate.
They say there's no such thing as bad press ......
