media, piracy 

Heh. Looks like Myspleen bootlegged the Cremaster Cycle.

I have zero interest in watching it. But it always makes me smile when some piece of media that an artist's made scarce for Lofty Artistic Reasons gets leaked.

Given a choice between creator's rights and, you know, actually being able to FUCKING PRESERVE OUR OWN CULTURE, I'm always gonna side with posterity.

It's the same way that I smile when an Very Serious Musician refuses to clarify a lyric and swears it'll go to their grave with them... and then another band member pops up and tells the world.

You wrote the damn thing for people to see and/or hear it. The moment you release it, it is CARRION. As long as you got paid something fair for it (and you probably didn't for TOTALLY UNRELATED reasons), every single artist, archivist, remixer, appropriator, and troublemaker on earth has every right to metabolize it any way they like.
