Heiko: >>> Digitalisation of things and networking, what this means, we will see some day. See the war about napster etc, what is the difference between this and analog "private copying" ? Nothing, even if it is the end of traditional copyright. For exemple. ------------- There are differences in reproduction and distribution but ownership is still in force; you carve something out of stone, you carve something out of code. No? Commercially, it should work like that, you steal my code, I come to your house with a chainsaw. Typography contradicts that model, there are more typefaces than ever now though it's impossible to get paid for making type -- Zuzanna and Rudi are surviving I hope nevertheless. Maybe the new model will be products that are made for the fun of being clever and artful, no rites reserved. Ed Atkeson --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
