Haha, I didn't know that - that's great!

>anyway, jeez, it's just a title--illegal art.

Reading between the lines, I got the impression that the guy who wrote it 
was kinda pissed off about the Illegal Art show in general, and wanted to 
discredit it. (I was thinking that he was anti-sampling, anti-napster guy 
who wanted to give the Illegal Art people a taste of their own medicine.)

I once knew a guy who, when losing an argument, would try to make the other 
person sound like a racist. He did this in jest, but...

In the art world, there seems to be this phenomena, where if you want to 
foster displeasure at a movement, you make it sound elitist and exclusive. 
Or corporate-backed.
