Went there and found

which looks interesting.

Merely watching that trailer has sparked realization just how right Marx was when he discussed how ownership, control really, of the Means of Production leads to control of culture and how subverting their control must, inevitably, lead to subverting corporate culture.  But the Means of Production, including the Means of Distribution, is the dog and the texte is the tail.  Muck around with the tail all you want, it's still the dog that has control.  Which suggests almost the entire 'project' of 20th Century Art - Modernist and Post Modernist - is futile; the artist can do anything she wants under any cognitive or psychological stance, supportive or rebellious, but she is still pwned - lovely word! - by The System.  

ThatBritGuy has written extensively on the problems of the creator under The System.  Several people have written about the problems being a consumer.  Much argument has resulted between 'em.  Much of the 'conflict,' I'm beginning to realize, stems directly from the fact the intermediaries, those who control the Means of Distribution, purposely (?) set the two groups who, at the root are not in conflict, at conflict; through manipulating the Means of Distribution for their own financial benefit.
