The Monolith Project @ SourceForge is an interesting idea... By taking a copyrighted work and some random file, you can do basic binary math in order to create a brand new file... free from copyright restrictions. You created it right? Make your own copyright.

It is not a derivitive work, either, since none of the orginal content is preserved. So, its not even fair use, because, again, the resultant file is nothing like the orginal. Trade that file, and maybe give someone a copy of that random file you found too, and people can reverse the logic, hence breaking the law once again.

The paradox here is if someone has the original file, and your new file, they could come up with that random file then...

Confused? Check out the site for utilities and a detailed explination about this very simple, and very pure, argument for the fact that no one can own an idea. So there.

Looking for a place where you could have better chances of finding gay friends, lovers, or communities? GayDemographics.org has statistics and topographical maps showing you where the gay people are. Granted, these are 2000 census results of people that cared to share, but the general consensus for Columbus, Ohio, USA (most being around Italian or German village) was pretty accurate in my opinion.
