much detail in your post. i'm sure much sacrifice has been made.
however, it all is a roundabout plea for "give them what they've earned". i don't disagree that if anyone deserves to be monetarily compensated for doing good deeds, it is the people associated with ll-research.
but that is still no excuse for not offering the audio free. there really is no good reason for selling a message of such magnitude. no matter how much sacrifice has been made you do not "invest", "earn", or otherwise own the right to control the flow of such a message. that is the argument that is being made. no matter how it is dressed. no matter how the emotional plea is made, the essence of the message is that certain individuals,through sacrifice, may earn the right to charge for the message. and that doesn't seem right to me.
i understand that the transference of the audio onto cd is underway, and that this must take place before the audio is placed online. and i will have to stand by my decision that to charge for the truest medium of the message, the one in which it was given, is not the highest way. the message was not written, it was spoken, through Carla.
it seems as if all the sages and truth bearers of the world have a need to charge for their service to humanity. the Law of One text begins to separate itself by being provided free. that resonates well with me. not providing original audio, and charging for doctored audio does not ring true for me.
your points are well taken, my knowledge of business is relatively low compared to most. i suppose i can't add anything further to the matter. though, if you post any more i will read and contemplate what you say.
