I don't yet have an advertising jpeg for the exhibition, but I expect I can get one. Does anyone have a website they'd be willing to carry it on? I'm sure the organisers would be very grateful.
well here's a scan, cropped, yada yada, not the best quality. it should give an idea of how powerful the images are.
it proves that you can capture pure love photographicly.
ive not used imagehost before, hope it works.

One Hundred Ex GirlFriends in the cellar?
For later use?
I dont think a stash of of old skyrockets will be much help in getting you out of that one paul.
and you cant just use em willynilly, you might end up on some register....

I wasn't aware that privacy was an issue here. The main reason people are going to get name suppression in a case involving violence is to protect the privacy of the victim.
Surely listing the details of the offender is going to blow away the privacy of the victim in many cases?

And the first thing to do, is to stop drinking, to limit the amount of alcohol in our blood (ie CO2 in the atmosphere).
isnt the first thing to do to stop drinking and driving?. either by replacing the risk adding element (a taxi/less bloody polution) or by adapting (sober driver/alternate energy sources).
one is always wary of picking up the analogy and running with it a little tooo far.....

ben:
The reason for climate control to me is similar to the reasons for not driving drunk. It's not that you'll be sure to have a crash. It's not even likely at all. It's just 'more likely', and the consequences are catastrophic. ......
Currently we are driving the climate drunk.i quite like this analogy.
We may be out in our various predictions, however whether we risk smashing into a tree, take out a pedestrian, or a whole carload of tourists....certain precautions, within reason are sage. -
these will probably seem logical and fair compared to whatever WishART actually claims....

If you're getting your plumber to install your broadband then I'm surprised you made it online. You're probably surfing by some sort of complicated water reticulation system.
lols,
as long as the water is carried by a series of tubes. then your upload can get deliveried via a fat pipe.

ok ladies and gentlemen,
its time to take your corners:
in Robberys corner esquire magazine:
People didn't stop buying albums because they were philosophically opposed to how the rock business operated, and they didn't stop buying albums because the Internet is changing the relationship between capitalism and art. People stopped buying albums because they wanted the fucking money. It's complicated, but it's not.
i really cant understand the logic behind most of what he states. arguing that music consumption is static, that the quality of music didnt decline (from the majors), that purchasing games and dvd's shouldnt impact on cd sales, that the majority of file sharing is due to personal debt created in the nineties!?!?!?!
sitting on the fence is post punk pop svengali Feargal Sharky
Sneakernet bigger threat than P2P file sharing
however:
[…] the limitation of the digital revolution in favour of increasing IP restrictions to maintain the illusion that technological innovation is occurring;the acceptance by the industries that the evolution cannot be stemmed by the tide of the law137, to which the industries would have to adapt as they did after the Amstrad138 and Betamax139 rulings, as opposed to hiding behind the skirt of the law;
or, unfortunately the most likely, an uncomfortable and ongoing battle between the law and cyberspace which will undoubtedly, after the passing of much time, litigation and expense, eventually result in the industries recognising the new opportunities for e-commerce, and resultingly adapting themselves to meet consumer demand and behaviour.
“Sharkey is urging the government to look to European law, which dictates that where a private copying-style exception is created there is also some sort of compensation for the creators and performers."
back to Robbery, his old mates the BPI stand up in his defence:
UK's BPI Responds To Carphone Warehouse And Its Talk Talk Service
We firmly believe in an internet where property rights are respected, and creativity is fairly rewarded. This will grow our digital economy, which is in the interest of all of us. Talk Talk should play its part in building this future.
but here comes a last ditch attempt for walker, he's down, but he's not beaten:
just like rocky versus Ivan Drago, Simon is awol, that makes him the Apollo Creed of this discussion.File sharing 'may be good', says EMI executive
"There is academic research that shows file sharing is a good thing for artists and not necessarily bad," said Merrill. "We should do a bunch of experiments to find out what the business model is."
Previously, the music industry has rubbished studies that claim file sharing can have a positive effect on music sales. "I think people will pay," Merrill said. "There is evidence that people we think are not buying music are buying music. They're just not buying it in formats we can measure."
Rocky: [Addressing the Soviet crowd, translated into Russian line by line by announcer]
Rocky: During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!
Rocky: [loud applause, even by the politburo]
