provided? Would we feel Indymedia achieved its ultimate goal if we saw
hundreds of corpoorate websites, running the same engine, but with
BastardNews logos and filtered by BastardNews administrivia-droids, and
with stories and comments being posted and contributions made by everyone
anyway? Do we *care* if free media suddenly appears under the banner of
Coca-Cola, CNN or even Burston-Marstellar-PR-and-reality-fabrication Inc,
so long as there remains the genuine engine and functionality underneath
it, participatory contributory media cranking on anyway?
Ok, so we couldn't wave the flag about the Indy "brand" but having the
software out there on as many servers as possible is the ultimate goal, I
think. Hey, it has the added advantage that BastardNews pays for the
bandwidth and it would take a load off our well-thrashed servers.
Is indymedia susceptible to the very same sort of culture jamming and
logo-mutation as it promotes? If so it might not be quite the robust item
we hoped, love it as much as I do.
Hey, did you hear a neuron fire just then? .... naaah, never happens here.
