In 20th century Netland the possession of a website was understood to be
absolute ownership. Once, 0100101110101101.0RG, after borrowing a source
code spent the night copying it. He returned the original but not the
copy. When the owner also demanded the copy it was refused. The matter was
brought to trial and ended with Rhizome's famous verdict: "To every cow
it's clone, to every page it's Artbase."
