Slide 11: "And I believed I could do my best to distribute it ethically by making it free to read, free to copy or reprint to anyone not making a profit." Slide 12: "By refusing to do unpaid work for anyone who was making a profit." Slide 13: "There might have been a moment I could have gone big" Slide 14: "But it didn't happen. So I'm still here.

Slide 16: "But I can't even get cartoons to most people for free, now." Slide 17: "without doing unpaid work for the profit-making companies who own the most-used channels of communication." Slide 18: "and now even that nominal opt-in option is gone. They just take it. Whatever they want."
