IED has stated (I won't bother to formally refer to the article, as I am sure that the words are floating before everyone's respective faces, in 6-foot letters of fire) that he will accept all scorn and ridicule heaped upon him as a result of the obsKuriTies_2 project. I won't go so far as to ridicule him, but I have a question for him that I think is also of interest to the general Love-Hounds public: "If you cancel the tape project, what will become of _your_ copy of THE TAPE?" That is, if _all_ copying of any form of the _Cathy_Demos_ is verboten, will IED destroy his and post the ashes to the net? Or will he continue his (not quite) solitary enjoyment of said music? If he chooses the former, I will at least applaud his self-consistency (at the same time I mourn the non-arrival of my own copy of the tape). If the latter, I would expect the seven plagues to be visited upon him in turn. Not that I wish him any ill will, but hypocrisy irritates me.
