really great and entertaining story.
i wonder, tho, about the real threat proposed. the whole worry is
predicated on a false, tho common, assumption, the assumption
that you have to do something special "to copyright" your work.
(fill out forms or something?) No. Under U.S. law, you
need do nothing. as soon as you fix your work "in a tangible
form" it's yours, copyrighted.
so i wonder how the limp bizkit contract would hold up in court.

"Big speculators joyfully splash about in an economy that lets millions of
people die every year in misery. What are 20,000 dead in New York by
comparison? ... Regardless of who carried out the massacre, this violence
is the legitimate daughter of the culture of violence, hunger and inhumane
exploitation."
