This comes the same day as a Wired News story about detritus.net, an online gallery which plans to host works of "appropriated," copyright- infringing art.

Yep. Welcome to the reality that an increasing number of reasonable citizens face: do something normal, reasonable, even constitutionally protected, and face years in prison and huge fines.
