    Fake_Statement

    The end of the net as we know it?

    No one could have dreamt up an act
    more symbolic than this one by
    Etoys.com, summing up the efforts
    of an entire horde of newbie net
    goldrushers. This hysterical
    powerplay perfectly demonstrates
    the intentions of the new net elite;
    to turn the world wide web into
    their own private home-shopping
    network. For the holidays,
    Etoys.com attempts to swat a fly in
    their Christmas pudding. But like
    other secret powers -- the net holds
    within it -- the secret of how
    the fly can swat back.

    S0 PLAY WITH US!!

    IT’S TIME FOR THE FAKE_FLOODS TO BEGIN!!!!

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    In 1995 a group of artists purchased the internet domain
    name etoy.com. Two years later, 1997, an online toy store
    bought the domain name eToys.com.

    This year eToys.com has chosen to sue etoy.com for the
    use of the domain name. In an initial hearing, a judge in Los
    Angeles has sided with eToys.com and forced etoy.com to
    shut down its website, discontinue use of the name
    etoy.com, and prohibited the artists from selling their work
    in the United States. eToys claims that it has only the
    interests of their customers in mind, who might mistype
    the store's internet address and end up at the wrong site.
    Minors might be exposed to controversial artwork. No-one
    is fooled by that. It is clear that what they are really after
    is sales, and they will use everything in their legal power
    to get etoy to pack up and leave.

    Do you want the internet to become one giant shopping mall
    where free speech and artistic expression are tolerated
    only as long as they don't threaten corporate profits? If not,
    then now is the time to make your voice heard. Do not shop
    at eToys this Christmas. Write to your friends and to the
    media, alerting them of eToys' attempt to suppress internet
    art
