ARTS ONLINE: ARTISTS SHARE THEIR FILES AND LIVES ON THE WEB 
Issue: Arts/Intellectual Property 

An online exhibit, called "Life Sharing," relieves the entire contents of an 
Italian young couple's computer. Visitors to Renato Pasopiani and Tania Copechi 
Web site, http://www.0100101110101101.org are exposed to their software, e-
mails, work in progress and even error messages. Their version of virtual 
performance art is intended to challenges the concept of copyright and 
intellectual property in cyberspace. "This is open-source living in the digital 
age. It's making a political statement about ownership and commercialism. It's 
not just about viewing. Not only can you see in, but you can use the plans 
yourself."

Semi-random signature quotes follow:
First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, 
because I was not a Jew. 
Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out, 
because I was not a Communist. 
Then they came for the trade unionists, 
and I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist. 
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out.
