So Amazing, So Illegal 492
Jamie gave me a nice writeup of a mashup where the writer shares some random youtube mashup video that you maybe have seen before called the Mother of all Funk Chords. It's a pretty amazing artistic achievement and probably worth at least a quick glance of your time. But the larger point should be taken seriously. He says "If your reaction to this crate of magic is 'Hm. I wonder how we'd go about suing someone who "did this" with our IP?' instead of, 'Holy crap, clearly, this is the freaking future of entertainment,' it's probably time to put some ramen on your Visa and start making stuff up for your LinkedIn page. Because, this is what your new Elvis looks like."

nobody would ever produce music, art, or literature. Which is also why works need to be protected for a century or longer.

I'm guessing the writer thinks that the diet of the readers is Ramen, so we should go buy it at 10 cents per package with financing and work on some mashups? Last time I bought Ramen noodles it came to be less than $5, and most small places don't allow charges under that to be put on plastic.

God, if you say, "What?" I've never heard of those." I'll have to put this onion back on my belt. Because that was the style when I was growing up. Right after the Vietnam War. Ford was President and this Peanut farmer from Georgia was running against him, Chevy Chase loved to make fun of Ford on that new show "Live on Saturday Night". Taxes were....

I think you are supposed to give your passport to the FSM in tribute for the help he will give you in finding a new job, hence the lies on your linkedin page. The first of which would probably be 'that you understand what that meant' so you don't look so not cuil.

From now on all words, regardless of hue, palette, or Pantone reference, shall simply be refered to as "words." For instance, these words [capc.co.uk] are just words, they are not "coloured words", "words of ethnic descent", or "words which have been highlighted because they signify something different to any other word. They are just as useful as the other words, and we applaud their contribution to society without at all decreasing the contributions from all other words, regardless of origin."

Could be worse.
You could be sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner. Waiting at the corner for the man to pour the coffee, and he fills it only halfway and before you can even argue he is looking out the window at somebody coming in.
