very good points. Big distinction: I would be more inclined to allow
creators like Salinger that kind of control (the ability to "change his
mind") than those like Pepsi, Exxon, Time-Warner, etc.
To some extent anything that goes "out there" is fair game, but in my
opinion the real "targets" are the source materials that are forcing
themselves on us, the billboards, commercials, big movies, etc. If
Salinger were on "Think Different" ads I would be less inclined to give
him slack. heh...
[Of course i'm discounting the Catcher in the Rye conspiracy theory
that a friend of mine keeps reminding me of, but if that turns out to be
true - hell, start sampling CITR as much as possible NOW, we have to stop
them!!! help!!!]
