Yes, I reckon ADA should make a statement.On the one hand we want availability, accessability and all that goes with internet immediacy, and on the other, protection against the piracythat cheats artists of a livelihood. I propose we initiate the "rites of copy" a manifesto of a kind that advances the principle of shared resources of all mankind, along with which we instigate a set of rites, the 'ethics of respect' for all downloaders – willynilly or not – to invoke before they embark on their hunt, much as our early ancestors might have incanted to pacify the hunted. Rite#1 Open my ears and open my eyes to the efforts of others from which I take pleasure (rpt x 3) Rite#3 Homage to the creative pool from which all things flow: I O U (rpt x 3) Rite#2 I will repay, I will repay, I will repay with a gift to another (rpt x 3)
