4PM Give or Take

Why copyright something if you sampled it in the first place?

Is it good enough to to just cite the source?
Who owns the right to something?

If you came up with something for a company, they own it.  Even if they throw it away.  If you want it, you have to buy it.  It's because you work for them.

How do we go forward if everything is owned and we can't borrow.  How do we work if we don't get compensated for our work?

What are the benefits and consequences of using a template?
- looks like everyone else's 
- facade?


What am I actually doing?  Is it an art project because of what I produce or because of the modes of production?
- is me being on Twitter activism if I mobilise people or am I just venting?
- mode, purpose, intention, 

Some rhetoric is self fulling.  Then we become more open to change and then we do.
Technological determinism

4:02PM
Element and dynamic as size and scale.  Trying to engage in acts of artificial balance / equilibrium.  Big business is imploding.  Rationalize and throw money at the problem.  Eventually things will be back.
Altnerative perspective, why don't we give 40 million people 1 million a piece with the expectations that they buy:
  • home 
  • car
  • some other things
Will it solve housing and automotive crises?
Speculation that if we throw money at business it might effect individuals.  However, throwing money at individuals certainly effects individuals.

why are we not skipping the big part and not just focusing on the business?
Problem is not the business but the size.
