This has been going on for decades and the only people who can legally stop it are far too busy profiting from it.

We're reading Lonesome Dove. I've heard it's a great book but I've never read it.  I've also heard the miniseries from the 90s is incredible but, again, I haven't seen it. lonesome-dove-3.webpI'll plan to watch it after finishing the book. I'm a bit surprised that the author of such a seemingly masculine book (Larry McMurty) also wrote the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain.
