Re: <nettime> Vice > Peter Sunde > I Have Given Up |
Last week Peter also announced his new art project, the Kopimashin, which copies a song about eight million times in a day, creating huge losses (sic) for the music industry: The Kopimashin creates an endless amount of copies of a specific audio track (gnarls barkleyâs crazy). The audio track is copied to /dev/null, a unix data pipe for avoiding permanent storage. The Kopimashins lcd display consists of three rows of information, the serial number of the mashin, amount of copies created and the dollar value it represents in losses for the record labels (Downtown Records / Warner Music), currently represented by USD1,25 per copied piece. The goal of the kopimashin is to make the audio track the most copied in the world and while doing so bankrupting the record industry. (http://konsthack.se/portfolio/kh000-kopimashin/) M.

I have always found the comments of Peter Sunde   provocative to say the least and an interesting moment of reflection   about tactical media. IMHO the Pirate Bay remains a seminal case of   media activism (all things considered) especially to see someone like   Sunde still receive quasi-MSM attention years after the trial. <...>
