If SOPA passes, you can kiss UbuWeb goodbye.
An effective plea by UbuWeb to stop SOPA legislation. Yes, many (if not most) of us—including Congress, obviously—”don’t understand the Internet,” but I find that non-technical people think about technology most rationally when its use value is articulated in relationship to their own perceived (or actual!) needs and routines.
So, non-Internet-understanding, hands-in-the-air-throwing, esoteric-documentation-loving art world: How would you feel if, all of a sudden, the videos, audio files, and texts that you’ve grown accustomed to accessing for your personal research and lectures—because admit it: you all crib from Ubu—were relegated back to their musty archival homes the Real World over? That would be inconvenient now, wouldn’t it? Yes. It would be.
