I am writing this from within the maximum security wing of the New British National Defence Forces detention island.
I was absolutely delighted to share all of my views about laws I felt needed repealing in the UK. My IP address was in no way used to trace my identity and when my new friends from the NBNDF came to talk to me I felt I was completely fulfilled by their probing and vigorous questions.
I have not been added to any lists of registered subversives.
My stay at the security wing has been fulfilling. I feel refreshed, invigorated and entirely supportive of the NBNDF. No electro-pain equipment was used upon me at all during this week.
Signed,
Mr Bottles.

I phrased it wrong. This is not music, it's recorded deep space EM activity.
I guess I should have said 'excellently recorded from the electromagnetic signals detected and beamed back by Voyager I and II, consisting of charged particle emissions, solar winds and the electromagnetic field noise of space itself - will provoke in all along the autistic spectrum a rational observation of the logical necessity for awe.'

This seems to be the model for a lot of independent producers now - which is to say that they offer their production for free as a preview and judge whether to continue based on feedback from the audience.
Projects like Earth 101 (http://www.earth101.net/) which seems to be a transmedia combination of video and old fashioned radio style comedy (think Hitchhikers Guide - even down to the scheduled broadcasts) are out there without any fanfare just waiting for an audience to pick them up.
The Pioneer One crowd have managed to capitalise on the publicity of their Kickstarter campaign. Other producers have done it off their own backs. It could be argued that the real benefit of crowdfunding campaigns is not the revenue generated but the audience created and the publicity that follows.
Except for actual, living pythons. To be fair, though, they are less a platform and more a series of tubes.
If you're a programmer, give your stuff away for free. If you're good enough, people will make donations. If not, then what's the point of being a programmer?

Publisher/corporations have been corporations/publishers for a long time now and this sort of censorship is neither new nor limited to literature.
The internet gives everyone the option to publish without censorship; you want to publish through a corporation though, because you want their lovely money.
But it's true, their timing is impeccably poor.
How on *Earth* do you have enough blood left to fill fountain pens after drinking to your victories with the blood of your enemies from goblets made from their hollow skulls?
I'm actually very interested. Please send me any brutal, victorious tips (written in the blood of your enemies) by messenger. After eating him alive I will reply in the blood of *my* enemies by return of post. And by 'post' I mean 'your messenger's severed head.'
Kind regards.
*In* it. Those Finnish pilots are badass.
So we can choose between the findings of a massive corporation intent on re-establishing its cashflow as soon as possible or a military entity performing a post-mortem on its equipment which sustained damage just prior to flight restrictions.
You decide!
