Mailtda's non-commercial use clause, was: Re: [matilda] crisisof consensus

[Joe Morris]

It has already been decided at at least two meetings
I remember, and I ever said it in one of my emails, that
benefit stuff for good causes was acceptable.

The idea is generally to break even, but obviously sometimes
that's not possible.

Indymedia NEED money to continue facilitating an important
anti-capitalist/anarchist resource. It needs to make "profit" if it
is to continue to develop. But if the indymedia lot came and said
"I want to do a benefit gig so I can have more christmas money"
then of course you should get told to bollocks!

In the nicest possible way...:-p

Hmm, well people were not happy when the Art 05 opening
failed to cover the cost of the booze and actually made a
loss...

Does all activity have to exactly break even...?

Back to my previous example... Say Sheffield Indymedia has
a party at Matilda -- would they be allowed to make a
profit from it? Are not fundraising events for good causes
acceptable? If these don't make a profit then they are
pointless (well having a good time has a point of course
:-)...
