Re: The way of the net. And art. And business.
Is ugly & dehumanising language about women more
acceptable if it comes from a woman? Doesn't seem so
to me, any more than your glib use of 'retard'...Maybe
you're so smart that it's amusing to use the
misfortune or difficulty of others as an insult.
I don't think I'd want that kind of clever.

Re: FWD: UbuWeb: The YouTube of the Avant-Garde
HI Jim
Actually, I feel quite pissed off about this.
I wonder if there's more to it than meets the eye
-apparently it's OK for UBUWEB to
< operate(s) much as youtube: put stuff up without
permission and keep it up unless someone objects.>
but since they haven't left (in most cases - sometimes
they've been less than thorough) the links to the
original content in .avi or .mov format one can only
conclude that the above philosophy is OK for the folk
at UBUWEB but not for the rest of us.
Given their difficulties last year when lawyers'
letters forced them to temporarily remove most of
their movies I can't help wondering whether a
pragmatic bit of self protection, possibly under
pressure, is being dextrously disguised as something
we ought to be grateful for...
Plus, the quality of the movies, as on YouTube, is now
lamentable. Maybe this is what is meant by "YouTube of
the avant-garde"..
What a shame and what a loss!
