[00:09:37] some quotes from the legendary olu jacobs, any any
[00:09:41] idiot can just read" lines and memorize
[00:09:44] lines, you do not memorize lines, you learn
[00:09:48] lines. we had, we
[00:09:52] had some, we're trying to
[00:09:55] um deal with piracy,
[00:09:59] and to do that, we try to close
[00:10:03] the loop holes, at least that was what
[00:10:07] we thought we were doing, there were some of our
[00:10:10] members, decided that it was not going to
[00:10:14] happen, the marketers decided that it was not, they
[00:10:18] didn't understand that we wanted it for the benefit of
[00:10:22] all of us, that the market. is big enough for all of us
[00:10:26] and there was no problem,
[00:10:30] as far as they were concerned, it was war, so they
[00:10:34] went to all the GM's, they ignored the
[00:10:38] headquarters, they went to the GMs of all those TV
[00:10:41] stations, threaten, threaten
[00:10:44] them, not not
[00:10:48] advertising with them and campaign against them,
[00:10:51] you know, and uh, then they offered them, they
[00:10:55] offered them money, addition to that,
[00:10:59] they actually uh took all those things and

[00:11:05] movie, but I know it's about Martin Luther King
[00:11:09] who who preached peace,

[00:11:38] shall come out
[00:11:38] of it, because we are determined that we shall

[00:11:49] and then talk again and then talk
[00:11:52] again and then we talk. until we talk and have an
[00:11:56] agreement, we must talk, patience is very,
[00:12:00] peace is very expensive, it asks for quite a
[00:12:04] lot, we are learning, we are an impatient
[00:12:07] people, but we're learning and we are
