Blogging Ottinger (tim)DeCSS Gallery
Okay, my sense of humor is not your sense of humor maybe, but I find the decss gallery one of the funniest things going. I particularly like the dramatic reading by Xader Vartec. I laughed and cried. Well, I thought about laughing and crying and that’s pretty cool. When is this a violation of DMCA and when is it an artistic or scholarly work? The musical version is odd, too.
So what is the barrier or border or interface between speech and software? When should we be afraid of “DMCA-restricted speech”? Only while the algorithm is not broken? Always? Until the copyright runs out? Is this all wrong?
I must have just as warped sense of humor as you do, because I was nearly rolling on the floor by the time I finished reading that page.

Oh, yeah. Did you listen to the square dance and the dramatic reading? I was thinking of getting a tee shirt. I’m glad we have a sense of humor in common.
