Hi folks

Kristin from Future of Music Coalition here, posting for the first time.

This was on Declan McCullagh's Politech this AM as part of his commentary
and coverage of Hatch's recent statements about destroying people's
computers who download copyrighted material.  Thought this was a good
project for this list to know about:

------------------

Declan,

do you happen to have a copy - or know of anyone who has a copy of Hatch's
embarrassing video with the 'hack the PC' statement?

i've just completed remixing an album made from Madonna's 'what the fuck do
you think you're doing?' decoy mp3s [see
http://www.madgelloland.org/irixx/madonna/ , album available at
http://www.justablip.co.uk] . Tom Barger, a fellow political campaigner,
suggested to myself and John von Seggern of Digital Cutup Lounge that the
Hatch statement might be an ideal target for a followup remix campaign. it
would make an excellent statement for fair use rights to chop up his words
and use them in a parody!

do feel free to include this letter on your mailing list, if you feel its
possible that anyone might still have the video file. i can be contacted at
iriXx AT iriXX DOT org.

all the best, and thank you as ever for running such an invaluable mailing
list and for continuing to expose and uphold the truth.

IriXx
