An art exhibit called "Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in
the Corporate Age" comes to NYC Nov.  13 - Dec. 6, and
Chicago Jan. 25 - Feb. 21. According to a description on
www.illegal-art.org, the  show "will celebrate what is
rapidly becoming the 'degenerate art' of a corporate age:
art and ideas on  the legal fringes of intellectual
property. Some of the pieces in the show have eluded
lawyers; others  have had to appear in court."

 Check out the witty disclaimer that pops up when you launch
the show's web site. Excerpt:

    "No Warranty. The Website is being delivered to you AS
IS and we make no warranty as to its use or performance. WE
DO NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE  OR RESULTS YOU
MAY OBTAIN BY USING THE WEBSITE. LOOK, WHEN THIS  WEBSITE
GOES ALL CRAZY AND DESTROYS YOUR COMPUTER, KILLS YOUR  PET,
SLEEPS WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER, DIGS UP ALL YOUR OLD 
POETRY AND LAUGHS AND LAUGHS, THEN CALLS UP YOUR FRIENDS
AND  READS THEM ALL THOSE REALLY EMBARRASING PARTS OUT OF
YOUR  JOURNAL, LIKE WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE "DESTINED FOR
BEAUTY" OR  SOME SHIT LIKE THAT, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEES AND
WILL SIMPLY JOIN  WITH EVERYONE AND LAUGH AT YOUR SORRY ASS,
BECAUSE DAMN, THERE'S  NO FREAKING WARRANTY HERE. GET IT? NO
WARRANTY. NONE. AT ALL." 

And check the audio page for 21 full-length, shamelessly
illegit MP3 downloads. While you can.
