Copy and Paste = Failure to be creative and loss of profitability so STOP doing it!

I saw a twitter post from a client/friend of mine who owns and operates an online TV show called Hiphopnonstop.TV. He was talking about how artists are copying and pasting each others lyrics and I had to chime in my 2 cents.  I posted as a reply that it doesn't end with the artist; I have noticed over the last few years that every idea my team and I come up with someone tries to copy it and promote it as their own with a series of failures...Ha ha... It even happens with major companies like Sony,You Tube,Pepsi and P-Diddy.  I even had a MTV rep ask me to review production ideas they had and to tell them what should be done to make them work successfully... Seriously?! Can't you offer to hire me for that?   My company is a for-profit though I do run a non-profit (The Intrinsic Foundation). It seems folks are more likely to attempt to do what I may have advised rather than to hire us.  I understand the state of this economy but as professionals we can guarantee a Return of Investment rather than those who aren't professionals taking a loss because they haven't properly planned their events or promotions.  We don't even mind affiliate partnerships but those proposals don't work...shit, I need a website! Wouldn't a graphic artist looking for work love to be the exclusive designer for a company that has worked with artists like Kanye West?  A great site and our past successes would surely progress our business and help them get revenue.  We have street team supporters who have won advertising awards for work they've done with us.  But enough of the rant...the Universe always supplies our demands, so look out for a brand new site coming soon and lots of great promotions throughout 2010 we have a awesome team of intelligent interns and great Party Crashers who will be taking cities across the globe (for real my fam got a network) by storm under the Intrinsic Group and if you aren't with us then...you know the rest chill and be peaceful!  Hit us up with your thoughts, ideas and rants we look forward to sharing them with the world!
