American photographer Corey Arnold has spent years working on fishing boats in the northern north Hemisphere were you need big balls and a cock sock. He is from the new breed of live in photographers, a fisherman who takes photos and photographer who catches fish. Winters coming so i thought this was appropriate.

“Section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act assumes Guilt Upon Accusation and forces the termination of internet connections and websites without evidence, without a fair trial, and without punishment for any false accusations of copyright infringement. We should speak out against injustices like Guilt Upon Accusation being done in the name of artists and protecting creativity.”
Guilty until proven innocent
This is an issue that anyone who use’s the internet and all creatives should be aware of. I believe Intellectual property should be protected but this is the wrong way to enforce it, as the business review puts it.. “it’s symptomatic of a technologically uneducated group of political decision makers being taken for a ride by lobbyists putting their interests ahead of the nation.”

I left this here for you to read, networked distribution magazine.
Tim Denvon from Boston is a conceptual artist who came up with the idea. The only way to get to read I left this here for you to read (thats its name) is by pure chance. About once a month, a new issue is printed of just fifty copies, and, thanks to a network of volunteers, is distributed in 25 cities across the USA and Canada. These copies are left in public spaces; you might find one on a park bench or on a bus seat. Those who find them can take and enjoy the exclusive pleasure of reading them. The magazine contains brief articles, images and tiny objects that can fit into a letter envelope or can be taped to a sheet of paper. All the contributions come from volunteers from all over the world. Devin’s project is based on the possibility offered by the Internet to put together a temporary global editorial staff. The meaning of this project isn’t its peculiar use of digital media: it can only be understood by considering the relation that is created between public space and art object. Devin’s creation tears the continuum of the commercial communication which dominates public spaces and induces an emotional shift: it’s precisely the surprise in finding it that breaks our routine and is full of the anonymous and indifferent encounters we’re used to.
Honestly, this guy is attempting to build a toaster from scratch that means getting some oil to make plastic and mining nickel to make the heating element.
