The greatest thing since wrapped bread!

Went to links on Database Debunkings and clicked on Metacrap: Putting the Torch to Seven Straw-Men of the Meta-Utopia. Read Cory Doctorow's Bitchun' World: P2P Gone Wild and boingboing as I'd heard about Cory Doctorow before. Then did a search for

plam

on ebay.



Looked for

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom on Google as I couldn't get into Cory Doctorow's website, and found a reference

here.

Looked on amazon.com for

books

by the author and found that

Eastern

Standard Tribe was coming out in 2004. Did a search for that title to find a review and found a

wired article about it. This led me to view a few old wired articles:

Be Here Now,

Mobile Mantras,

Wireline vs. Wireless, and

Meet the Bellbusters. Then checked out

the current issue and read about

Being Invisible.

Someone turned me on to the illegal art show website, and I checked out some artists works,

including Ashley Holt, Ray Beldner, and

Eric Doeringer. I'd like to have some of Ray's

book and shoe landscapes or

cages to decorate my sparce condo. And I like Eric Doeringer's

modern toy sets.

The site referred me to some articles. Read one about

Tiger

Woods' dismay at being depicted in a number of paintings, but got bored with the article and moved on to

the flash presentation of Lawrence Lessig's OSCON 2002 address

about free culture. Then got interested in Lessig so went to his site. but didn't stay long as I

suddenly got the urge to read William Gibson's blog.

Typed in www.williamgibson.com thinking that it would bring me to the

William Gibson site, but instead I hit

celebrity1000.com. Finally got to the

Gibson site and got referred to

a story by the Baghdad Blogger on the

Guardian Unlimited.

Found

The

War We Could Not Stop on amazon.co.uk, but not

amazon.com US. Also looked at

Owning

Cultue: Authorship, Ownership, and Intellectual Property Law by Kembrew McLeod.

Please title this page

One way of finding random websites

The War We Could Not Stop

Why can I buy this from amazon.co.uk, but it is nowhere to be found on amazon.com?

Death to copyright!

Think of all the other things people could do if we didn't have to worry about copyright...

Protest

If you really want to protest this war, sell your car.
