More eagle-eyed viewers, and I hope scrapers, will notice that I've included wording on the website stating that if anyone uses my words, either printed or digital, without my consent, I will skull-fuck them sue them.
There's currently a battle in the courts about copyright and fair use, where Artists are fighting for their lives against greedy mother-fuckers who wouldn't understand creativity if they dumped into the toilet. I am, like others, watching this with bemusement, thinking, how did we get there?
But I'm also thinking that publishing and artists need to change their own models. If Art and Artists need to self-preserve, then they need to consider leaving the digital world behind and becoming physically exclusive. Perhaps an end to eBooks for publishing houses, perhaps no more digital galleries of art or photographs?
Tracy Savage is an example of a great artist who has had enough of those greedy fcukers, and she restricts reproductions of her art online. Good for her. I wish others would do that too.
After all, it's harder for someone to steal ones shit, when you've got hold of it. And the World Wide Web is no longer a safe pair of hands. Sure, use it to wave your own and tell people to come over. Get 'em to be curious, but maybe we need to be more wary and savvy of the perils of Digital?
