I'd call this about a F5 cultural tornado. They do happen. I don't read
much British press so it's a view from "across the pond" as they say.

What about this new blurring between facts, guilt, and security? As far as I
knew, Fisk was not considered to be this much of a total asshole Hitler by
anyone. News to me and yes I won't say it's not depressing.

Which reminds me, on the guild idea for net.art: what would be terms for
current producers to provide past works of financial value to the guild, if
that was thought to be beneficial? And as for this word "guild," how would
it compare to the Hollywood screenwriters' guild? Writer's guilds are a
workable legal precedent as well, no question there, literary or expressive
value.
