Alec Empire hat mal einen Schwung über einer seiner Erfahrungen mit
|
|
Copyright vertwittert...und wie froh ich bin das es wieder Atari Teenage
|
|
Riot gibt und vor allem das sie eine große Stimme des kollektivem
|
|
Netztes sind...

|
> ok children…copyright…let me tell you a story… in 1998, I watched ALL
|
|
> Elvis movies on VHS (!) …I know that is already a story by itself…\>\>
