Comments on: An Organization to Support Collectors http://artofthenet.com/2009/04/27/an-organization-to-support-collectors/ on the discovery that some web sites are works of art Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:18:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Theo http://artofthenet.com/2009/04/27/an-organization-to-support-collectors/comment-page-1/#comment-102 Theo Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:23:35 +0000 http://artofthenet.com/?p=150#comment-102 Some changes to the site: I have updated the style sheet so that image captions are now displayed in Italics and are positioned closer to the image. This should help captions to be slightly more apparent. I have also updated the tool-tip so that it displays the your web site name. Some changes to the site:

BTW, While looking at your site, I looked for - but could not find - any copyright notice or Creative Commons attribution. You might consider adding something like this to provide guidance on how you would like your very handsome images to be treated by visitors. So what more information would you like added to the caption? Or would you prefer that I not use anything from your web site? Hi Tjebbe

(because contextualization of references is an important thing in a free exchange... not so much copyright claims (ownership) but reference to a context will be the art we will need to learn)... Recently I made a series of small (quick & dirty) scrolls for an expert meeting of the Dutch ministry of Justice who had invited me (to my great surprise) to give an introductory visual talk on copyright and copy wrong issues related to our digital realm)... the link included in this post point to an index page and the second scroll from the top when clicked will show the following quotation: "Human beings are partakers of a common nature; what conduces to the benefit or pleasure of one man will conduce to the benefit or pleasure of another.(3*) Hence it follows, upon the principles of equal and impartial justice, that the good things of the world are a common stock, upon which one man has as valid a title as another to draw for what he wants. It appears in this respect, as formerly it appeared in the case of our claim to the forbearance of each other,(4*) that each man has a sphere the limit and termination of which is marked out by the equal sphere of his neighbour. I have a right to the means of subsistence; he has an equal right. I have a right to every pleasure I can participate without injury to myself or others; his title in this respect is of similar extent." This is William Godwin an English end of the 18th beginning of the 19th century writer and lawyer who has been a favorite of me for decades... You find the quotation and its context on this weblink http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/godwin_property01.html So maybe this will help the discussion you are trying to raise.
