...as if the skaro conversation was not going on...
You know how it is - you wander around and nothing catches your interest and then you find one thing which leads inexorably to another...anyway, I saw this article about the huge moral burden Google feels as the only real search engine, which led to Chilling Effects, a website which is, it says " excited about the new opportunities the Internet offers individuals to express their views, parody politicians, celebrate their favorite movie stars, or criticize businesses...(but has)... noticed that not everyone feels the same way. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some individuals and corporations are using intellectual property and other laws to silence other online users..." which in turn led to the fantastic Illegal art.org, a website which features all sorts of copyright breaching lovliness - (Ray Beldner, for instance, has made the most exquisite pieces from money, whilst eric doeringer makes all sorts of stuff - bootlegs of existing artwork, toys for the 21st century - loads of interesting and quite lovely things....) - it also has video stuff - well worth a look - and an illegal art cd (on mp3, naturally) (which I have now burned and am bundling a copy in with Glenn's prize), and links to, amongst other places illegal art - a similarly named but functionally distinct operation who are essentially a record label. They are sending me an cd made entirely out of bits of beck (audiologically rather than viscerally speaking). All in all, a fine evening.
So...another copy of the admittedly free to download Illegal art cd to the first person who can correcly identify the location of the slightly photoshopped picture at the top of the page - and no, it's not Skaro.
