Re: big brother is coming


very true joseph. i know that [corporations] are doing the "right" thing
and i've witnessed the same passion within the corporate culture.

however, i'm very nervous because, at times, it seems as if major issues are
seen only in economic/capitalistic terms rather than constitutional terms.
the declaration of independence says we have the right to life, liberty and
happiness/property (read "property" circa john locke, thomas hobbes). the
bill of rights guarantees free speech.

in my opinion ... in my personal agenda ... in my propaganda ... i believe
that the right to free speech is significantly more important than
protecting copyrights for 70 plus years!!!!!!!! fuck disney!!!!!

i tend to get very excited around "fair use" and "copyright" issues because
i see pop culture icons as an alphabet/language ... these images have
meaning. their messages resonate throughout our culture and i believe that
we should have the right to use them ... to challenge the message ... to
challenge the messenger.

i'm nearly finished with a newmedia essay on "human hell". i hope you will
watch it when its done.

images are language ... not property
images are a kind of alphabet ... not property
