It is good news!
Maybe it means that word got around and that there
were people thinking and genuinely listening!
Maybe it was just one of those silly jokes that you
suddenly realise isn't really all that funny and is a
bit offensive to boot when you look at it again.
I hope they will think about positive ways to express
their views about things like creative commons
(perhaps a page about it) and to be supportive of
artists and not to view them as the enemy. Perhaps
when an artist contacts them to have their work
removed it is a good time to get into a dialogue with
the artist as to whether they might be happy to submit
something else to ubuweb or to work together in some
way.
Perhaps there could even be 2 ubu sections, the
dungeon where all the dodgy bootlegs live until a
request for removal, and a garden of ubu, where stuff
can live for which there is permission for use.
Perhaps ubu could have a page for ubu stars, artists
who have tried to work with ubu like Pip Chodorov has.
Whatever happens, I hope it will be more positive
stuff and not attacking people for their different
views.
I think you summed up my feelings about it too Chris,
it really did seem like some strange kind of selfish
sulking.
I'm really glad it is gone and hope it will be
replaced by good and positive things whatever they
are! :)
I think it is a good sign, if the people there are
listening to criticism and considering it and thinking
about it.
Fingers crossed that a more positive ubu may be on its
way! :)
love
Freya
