Of course, these is a plagiarist trend of thought. In case someone in
the list hasn't read it, I recommend Karen Eliot's "NO MORE MASTERPIECES
MANIFESTO". I remember it being published in the "Cassette Mythos" book
by Autonomedia (another must) but must have been published many times. I
recently stumbled on a Spanish translation somewher in the net. I didn't
bookmark the URL, sorry. (BTW, for those who are not into this, Karen
Elliot is a multiple identity, like Luther Blisset and some others).
