FLUXLIST: RE: Conceptual Art Index Card
Roger Stevens asks [in regard to the index card containing the definition of conceptual art I found in a library book]: Who would like to trade for the definition? Whaddya got? Who can tempt me? How 'bout a stirring testimonial as too how much this definition has conceptually changed your conceptual conception of conceptual art? Something that would make people realize that this isn't just an index card with a definition of conceptual art written on it, it is THE index card with THE definition of conceptual art written on it. I want people to realize that I did not write the index card (I will send any bearer of the index card a sample of my writing for comparison), nor do I have any idea who did. But it changed my life. -Josh Ronsen http://www.nd.org/jronsen --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Before you buy.
Re: FLUXLIST: RE: Conceptual Art Index Card
I have made four copies of the index card - each copy using a different medium. I have put the copies and the original in identical white envelopes The first four people to make me an acceptable offer (I have one so far - if that person still wants to take part) will receive one of the envelopes chosen at random I'll retain the fifth So... Any offers?
FLUXLIST: John Perry Barlow: The Next Economy Of Ideas (fwd)
Wired 8.10 An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. - Victor Hugo The Next Economy Of Ideas Will copyright survive the Napster bomb? Nope, but creativity will. By John Perry Barlow The great cultural war has broken out at last. Long awaited by some and a nasty surprise to others, the conflict between the industrial age and the virtual age is now being fought in earnest, thanks to that modestly conceived but paradigm-shattering thing called Napster. What's happening with global, peer-to-peer networking is not altogether different from what happened when the American colonists realized they were poorly served by the British Crown: The colonists were obliged to cast off that power and develop an economy better suited to their new environment. For settlers of cyberspace, the fuse was lit last July, when Judge Marilyn Hall Patel tried to shut down Napster and silence the cacophonous free market of expression, which was already teeming with more than 20 million directly wired music lovers. Despite an appeals-court stay immediately granted the Napsterians, her decree transformed an evolving economy into a cause, and turned millions of politically apathetic youngsters into electronic Hezbollah. Neither the best efforts of Judge Patel - nor those of the Porsche-driving executives of the Recording Industry Association of America, nor the sleek legal defenders of existing copyright law - will alter this simple fact: No law can be successfully imposed on a huge population that does not morally support it and possesses easy means for its invisible evasion. To put it mildly, the geriatrics of the entertainment industry didn't see this coming. They figured the Internet was about as much of a threat to their infotainment empire as ham radio was to NBC. Even after that assumption was creamed, they remained as serene as sunning crocodiles. After all, they still "owned" all that stuff they call "content." That it might soon become possible for anyone with a PC to effortlessly reproduce their "property" and distribute it to all of humanity didn't trouble them at all. But then along came Napster. Or, more to the point, along came the real Internet, an instantaneous network that endows any acne-faced kid with a distributive power equal to Time Warner's. Moreover, these were kids who don't give a flying byte about the existing legal battlements, and a lot of them possess decryption skills sufficient to easily crack whatever lame code the entertainment industry might wrap around "its" goods. Practically every traditional pundit who's commented on the Napster case has, at some point, furrowed a telegenic brow and asked, "Is the genie out of the bottle?" A better question would be, "Is there a bottle?" No, there isn't. Which is not to say the industry won't keep trying to create one. In addition to ludicrously misguided (and probably unconstitutional) edicts like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, entertainment execs are placing great faith in new cryptographic solutions. But before they waste a lot of time on their latest algorithmic vessels, they might consider the ones they've designed so far. These include such systems as the pay- per-view videodisc format Divx, the Secure Digital Music Initiative, and CSS - the DVD encryption system, which has sparked its own legal hostilities on the Eastern front, starting with the New York courtroom of Judge Lewis Kaplan. Here's the present score: Divx was stillborn. SDMI will probably never be born owing to the wrangling of its corporate parents. And DeCSS (the DVD decryptor) is off and running, even though the Motion Picture Association of America has prevailed in its lawsuit aimed at stopping Web sites from posting - or even linking to - the disc-cracking code. While that decision is appealed, DeCSS will keep spreading: As the Electronic Frontier Foundation was defending three e-distributors inside Kaplan's court last summer, nose-ringed kids outside were selling T- shirts with the program silk-screened on the back. The last time technical copy protection was widely attempted - remember when most software was copy-protected? - it failed in the marketplace, and

Re: FLUXLIST: John Perry Barlow: The Next Economy Of Ideas (fwd)
My only issue with Napster is the Recording companies rob the artists blind... the artists don't make squat off of records... they make what little money they make off of concerts and merchandising, and even then the record companies get the most... why don't they ditch the record companies and do like Chili Peppers planned to do? Distribute all their music (for free) on the net, and fund their OWN recording company? All the artists could join together to do it, and run it themselves... With the soaring cd sales they would make a killing. == "When the last human has died, trees shall cover the earth."
