Thanks a lot for all of the Underworld information. Great read. I'm gonna follow your recommendations and start on them tonight. Reading that I also just realized that my first listen of them was through Sunshine around 6 years ago rather than Trainspotting, pretty cool.

Picked up some original Arista Records and Warner Records promotional photographs from the early 70s while antiquing last weekend. Just finished framing the pieces to complement the 18x24 custom prints I had produced for my listening room.
Check 'em out!

Privacy Rights & Copyright Reform in Light of the Post-Scarcity Digital Economy
For the past few months, I've been immersed in literature, documentary films, essays, and manifestoes centering on privacy rights in the digital age and on copyright reform in light of the post-scarcity digital economy.
What follows is mostly for my archival reference, a summary of the best media I've found relating to these topics. Each title is hyperlinked to reference information on the work or to the work itself, as are links to the bibliographies of the authors who published them. While many members of the forum may find this exquisitely uninteresting, my aim is that a user might find something here of value, which either supports or challenges his/her ideas about the digital economy. Perhaps this archive will introduce them to a work which inspires or enlightens them, whether to cryptographic security measures or to a heightened awareness of the need for legal reform to reflect this technological revolution. If even one person is influenced by this entry, then it has served its purpose. REFERENCE MATERIALS AND OTHER INFORMATION RESOURCES Books discussing Copyright Reform, Free Culture, and the Digital Economy as it Pertains to Media: Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity by Lawrence Lessig Reclaiming Fair Use: How to Put Balance Back in Copyright by Patricia Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi Moral Panics - Copyright Wars by William Patry How to Fix Copyright by William Patry The New Media Monopoly: A Completely Revised and Updated Edition by Ben H.

The list of documentaries included several anti-capitalist features, each cautioning the viewer about the inevitable economic brick wall to which the globalized world is speeding. Films such as:
As I work my way through these films I've been jotting down key concepts:
Related Literature:
Wikipedia offers a summary of his political positions here. And this article cites several core texts of decentralism. Among them are:
John Perry Barlow’s 1990 article at EFF.org - Crime and Puzzlement QuestionCopyright.org FreeCulture.org OpenMedia.ca The Open Rights Group (UK) 2600: The Hacker Quarterly WIRED.com Information Wants to be Free: Intellectual Property and the Mythologies of Control (written by R. Polk Wagner and published by the University of PA) Crypto-Anarchism / Cypherpunks: I've just received an internet privacy milestone artifact in the post. I'd spent the last week delving into the politics of crypto-anarchism and the cypherpunks. (The "crypto" does not refer to a covert political position as it does in the term, "crypto-fascism", but instead refers to politics concerned with privacy in the digital age.) Pictured below is the second EVER issue of WIRED, published in May of 1993. The masked gents holding the flag on the cover are the early cypherpunks, including the founders of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and fathers of Bitcoin. Their core philosophy back in 1993 was that government can never be trusted to protect civilian privacy on the internet and that it was up to private citizens to develop technology to protect it. John Perry Barlow is among those featured - the man who published A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace in 1996. (The archival record album of which I featured on my member journal.) These men had incredible foresight of that which has come to pass in the 20 years since the issue's publication! For more on the subject, read the free eBook, Bit by Bit: How P2P Is Freeing the World by Jeffrey Tucker. For more on privacy measures you can implement to make your surfing more secure, visit the Crypto Party Guide and review their Handbook. And here is an excellent guide to securing your browser. Thank you.

The Nostalgia of "Vintage Tech"
One of the surprising bonuses of picking up a cutting-edge tech magazine from May of 1993 is the unexpected nostalgia trip of advertisements that were printed in the issue.
Check out these ads for Sony's new MiniDiscs, the 3DO, new 200GB hard drives, and more. VR goggles, the PowerGlove, and the most painful-looking ergonomic keyboard ever! My favorite ad in the issue - "I can record on a disc! I can record on a disc!" (Sony's new MiniDisc technology) Aldus PageMaker (before the Adobe acquisition) Coming this summer! The early days of the Sci-Fi Channel and their official MAGAZINE! Seagate's new 200GB HDDs! ORDER NOW! A four-page feature on the promising new 3DO console. The scary thing is that AOL still pushes their dial-up service to thousands of elderly customers all over the US.

Just Like Christmas
Every vinyl enthusiast should be celebrating today, as Discogs has officially launched their app in the Play Store! Only just over 1000 downloads so far... where is everybody?
Well, I for one am celebrating with Low's Christmas EP - side 1 track 1: "JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS!"
