I think if Koldo doesn't like his image being appropriated, he has a right to demand it stop being used.
Anarchists need to develop a more subtle, useful understanding of copyright.
just because i don't believe in intellectual property rights doesn't mean i'm an "anarchist" nor does it mean i'm speaking
for all "anarchist"
I don't define myself as anarchist
and i still say fuck all property rights

FYI: A PHONY "ANARCHIST" SITE
In the past few months, a considerable effort has been put into building up a fake "anarchist" website, anarchy DOT net, and making it appear legitimate. A mere shell just a few months ago, this site suddenly includes a blog, a forum with nearly 500 (fake and apparently real) users, a Wikipedia page, a "library", and even an online store selling shirts advertising the site.
Though the site sports a "copyright" (one of many give-aways!) dating back to 1997, the domain was just a gateway to porn sites as recently as 2005. It is currently registered to "Throne Networks", someone with a Virginia PO box who also hosts these other lovely sites:
fuckcapitalism DOT com ("Anti-Capitalism")
ihatejobs DOT com ("I Hate Jobs")
infoterror DOT com ("Infoterror Internet Activist Promotions, Inc.")
antihumanism DOT com ("Anti-Humanism")
nihil DOT org ("Center for Nihilist and Nihilism Studies")
amerika DOT org ("Al-Qaeda Appreciation Society of North America")
corrupt DOT org ("Remaking Modern Society")
nazi DOT org ("Libertarian National Socialist Green Party")
churcharson DOT com ("CHURCH ARSON")
realitynews DOT com ("A look into the real world")
juliusevola DOT com ("Julius Evola: Traditionalist Visionary")
necrocapitalist DOT org ("Necrocapitalist")
pan-nationalism DOT org ("Pan-Nationalist Movement")
penttilinkola DOT com ("Pentti Linkola Fansite")
hessian DOT org ("The Hessian Studies Society")
anus DOT com ("American Nihilist Underground Society")
lostwisdom DOT com ("Lost Wisdom")
zionists DOT com ("Kahanist National Zionist Party")
continuity DOT us ("Continuity MOvement")
genocide DOT org ("genocide, holocaust, and democide studies")
fuckchrist DOT com ("Support the Judeo-Christian Holocaust")
burzum DOT com ("The Music of Burzum and the Writings of Varg Vikernes")
sataniccoalition DOT com ("The Satanic Coalition")
pragmatism DOT us ("Pragmatism Party - Traditional National Democratic Party")
Most of these sites link to several of the others, and up until very recently, even the new "anarchist" version of anarchy.net linked to at least the first six of them. The links were taken down when commenters on the site's blog, and posters on its forums, began objecting to their content. But it is clear that the same organization is behind all of them.
Taken together, these sites appear to be a broad net cast at young people in the process of rejecting inherited, official values. Whether they are a front for "third positionist" fascists, a government operation, part of a spam enterprise, or the product of a bored obsessive, what is abundantly clear is that "anarchy DOT net" is not operating in the interests of the anarchist movement, nor indeed of the majority of the world's people.
If the links with "nazi DOT org" weren't enough, digging a little on the site itself uncovers an explicitly racist position:
http://www.anarchy DOT net/anarchy/anarchy_library/racism/
Quote:
No one seems to care how contradictory it is for the powers that be that push the ideas simultaneously that
a) all races are inherently equal
b) there is no such thing as "race"
c) some races need special assistance.
It is obvious that there are noteworthy biological differences with different human populations. However, this shouldn't be either a free ticket to discriminate with great prejudice nor to think that racial gaps should be diminished by interbreeding, because both forms of thinking are very far from what is stable and close to reality.
The same text was pasted as a comment on a third-positionist fascist blog
(
http://anarchonation DOT blogspot.com/2007/10/jena-racists.html)
in October, by someone calling himself "Postglobalism" and linking to anarchy.net, with the added line "Every nation needs its own culture, rules and space to live."
The Internet is notoriously full of exactly this kind of bullshit. What makes "anarchy.net" a problem is that it is now pretending to be the "International Anarchists Alliance", an emerging coalition of actual anarchist groups:
Quote:
Member Organizations
Anarchist-Antitheist Army, (Platformist), North America
BlackStar Coalition, (Underground Collective), North America
Anarchist Brotherhood, (Underground Militant Group), North America
Schuyler's Army (Black Bloc Coordinator), North America, Europe
Needless to say, these groups are all either fake or imaginary:
Quote:
The Anarchist-Antitheist Army, based in North America has come forward to be the first organization to become part of the Anarchist alliance.
Quote:
BlackStar is based in North-Eastern USA and South-Western Ontario. The Coalition's contact may be reached through one of our staff.
Quote:
The Anarchist Brotherhood operates in northwestern USA, Ontario and Quebec. Contact to the Brotherhood is not permitted.
Anarchists in the US and Canada are forming real organizations. Some are networks that support us in our participation within broader movements for change and resistance in our communities and workplaces; others are specific political groups pursuing collective action strategies. Many are now growing, experiencing a slowly rising wave of social discontent in response to economic anxiety and distrust of government solutions.
But history has proven that lone rebels can be misled. And in the course of a few months, somewhere between dozens and hundreds of visitors to the anarchy DOT net site, many identifying themselves as 13 to 17 years old, have already registered and handed their email addresses over to whoever is behind the site. At the best, this serves as a confusionary diversion. At worst, though, it provides a point of contact for fascist indoctrination, or a fresh FBI file.
Spread the word about "anarchy DOT net", and if you've already been duped yourself, be more careful. If you are interested in what anarchists (and our friends) have to say about the world we live in and our prospects for making revolutionary social change together, try one of these sites:
