My guess is a Sony exec or something was in there and spotted underground mix CDs and alerted the RIAA...don't wanna deprive those superstars of a couple hundred dollars I guess.

The RIAA hired some pigs to come and bust the store, the arrest was totatlly arbitary. They were supoosed to be busting down on bootlegs, thanks to the media exposure on Star Wars bootlegs (it happened to be a live 50 cent concert, so if he was involved in any way FUCK 50 Cent!). They took me since i am the manager on the 2nd floor. Mr. Kim was no where to be found. The store was shut down, employees lined up, a few of us got cuffed w/out being told we are being arrested and with out utilzing our miranda rights. We were taken to the holding cell, where we waited approx 5 hrs before they fingerprinted us and put us into a chain gang to take us downtown (despite them telling us they were going to give us desk passes so we would not have to spend the night in jail...FUCK THE POLICE!!!). So we went downtown, beforehand they confisicated our cell phones and thanks to technology, was not able to memorize anyone's phone numbers. The pigs still have my cell phone & ipod. So we got put into a pen w/ a bunch of other dudes. The cells were packed constantly, filled w/ 30 or so people at a time, having 10 bull pens down there, body heat made things harder in the dank cells. Hours later i was separted from the rest of my co-workers and put into a different cell, separated from the one guy whom had the name & number to the Kim's lawyer. Those whom don't know, i have a hard time w/ authority. i spent 30+ hrs in jail for working at Kim's. All the other employees were released from there cells before me, i had a panic attack that was prompted by all this stress, not eating (jail is not really vegan friendly) nor sleeping the entire time i was in. i got really claustrophobic, thought everyone was stealing my air (for those who live in NY, the jail cell was 10x hotter then the 2nd ave. F stop) my heartrate doubled, i couldn't breath and i started to crack. i started to waddle back and forth like orphans do from not being mothered long enough or at all. My man Jerry Lim, whom is the only numbered i remembered, for we call each other every day. He worked his ass off to help me out, big ups for Lim, whne you see him, hug him and buy him a drink. Calling mutual friends whom have lawyers and money to help bail me out. The Correction Officers were very reluctant to help him help me out in any way. When i bummed a quarter off a fellow inmate, i was at the point of cracking, mumbling w/ the entire cell yelling and overall carrying on like it was a party for them. Some also had arbitrary arrests, like walking through the park at night or some for more "serious" crimes like selling weed. i would like to take this moment to give Guiliani & Bloomberg a big fuck you! i can honestly say i hate these men. Hours later, at a point i was almost convinced i was going to spend 72 hrs or more in jail (they can legally hold you for 72 hrs, but if it falls on the weekend, you stay over the weekend regardless), i got called, went to my arrainment and senteced to one day of community service. i was arrested apparently for making and distrobuting bootleg material (a felony offense aka your going to Rykers), which is not true, obviously. Charges were lowered to a misdeamor and i was sentenced to a day of community service. That was a relief in a since. You can only imagine how intensely pissede i am at Mr. Kim at this moment and was ready to quit when i go out. Below is a clipping from NY Times, which article helped speed up our arrainment (so i hear). Mr. Kim is supposedly turning himself in on monday, i have no idea was it going out (that is how it was the entire time i was locked up, the pigs liked to keep you in the dark). So, i am sorry i can't call everyone right now, but i thought this may be best way for mass communication. Needless to say i hate cops even more now and have even less faith in the united states legal system. Thanks for all your support. Hope to see you all soon. luv, chu from nytimes.com Police Raid Video Store in East Village in Piracy Case E-Mail This Printer-Friendly Reprints By THOMAS J. LUECK Published: June 10, 2005 A longtime fixture in the East Village, Mondo Kim's, a mecca for independent music and video at 6 St. Marks Place, was raided and closed for five hours on Wednesday by police officers who left with boxes filled with CD's, DVD's and computer equipment. Five store employees were charged with trademark counterfeiting. According to several employees of the store, known widely for the its independent labels, and sometimes ornery staff, the police arrived about 1 p.m. on Wednesday, and ordered all customers to leave. Then, all of the 20 or so clerks, managers and other employees who were working in the three-floor store, which sells DVD's, CD's, books and production equipment, were told to line up on the ground floor. The police quickly identified four men and one woman and led them away in handcuffs. They ordered everyone else to leave and searched the store until about 6 p.m., when officers filed out carrying boxes. The police said yesterday that investigators had carried out a search warrant for counterfeit trademarked goods and that the material seized included nine computer towers, a CD burner, a laptop computer, 471 compact disks and 53 videos. The employees charged with counterfeiting were identified as Theo Frimpong, 39, of the Bronx; Diana Kinscherf, 19, of Queens; Donald Stahl, 26, and Charles Bettis, 29, both of Brooklyn; and Craig Willingham, 32, of Manhattan. Mondo Kim's is on a block of St. Marks Place, between Second and Third Avenues, that has long been a crossroads of bohemian culture. It and three other Manhattan stores known as Kim's Video and Music are widely known among the cognoscenti of new, experimental and esoteric music and film. Many customers seek out the four Kim's outlets for recordings they are unable to find in even the largest music stores, and they often say they patronize the St. Marks Place store despite the attitude of its staff, which is not always welcoming. "It was a rite of passage to go in there, rent a movie and get snobbed on by some disdainful clerk," said Mike Doughty, the former singer of the band Soul Coughing. Veterans of the East Village arts scene said the store had a devoted clientele. "They fill a niche," said Mike Stuto, an owner of Hi Fi, a bar on Avenue A. "It's the difference between a corner bodega and a special newsstand that carries every publication you can imagine, but may not have Time magazine." Colin Moynihan contributed reporting for this article.

And last week, on June 8, the East Village record and video shop Mondo Kim's was raided by the New York Police Department. What do these two stories have in common? Here's a hint: it's cheap, popular and illegal. (photo credit) Sara Krulwich/The New York Times The police confiscated mixtapes at Mondo Kim's last week. Faison was the industry's most energetic promoter of hip-hop mixtapes, the unlicensed compilations (almost always on CD, despite the name) of unreleased new songs, current hits, never-to-be-released freestyles and unofficial remixes. To keep (or get) hard-core listeners excited, rappers are expected to maintain a mixtape presence by supplying DJ's with tracks and also by collaborating with them to release "hosted by" mixtapes. Thanks to Faison, the mixtape world even had its own annual ceremony: he created and produced the yearly Mixtape Awards, a fittingly raucous celebration; this year's attendees included Sean Combs, who won a lifetime achievement award, and the Game. In the days after Faison's death, rappers and DJ's paid their respects, tribute rhymes started circulating online and a fund was started to help pay for his burial and to aid his family. Contributions have come in from many leading hip-hop record labels including Atlantic, TVT, Tommy Boy and Interscope. While artists and record labels were celebrating Faison's life and work, the Recording Industry Association of America was finding another way to pay tribute to the popularity of mixtapes. On May 12, the day before Faison died, it announced a crackdown on stores that sold "pirated CD's," a term that refers to "mixed tapes and compilation CD's featuring one or more artists," among other products. (The association's taxonomy of piracy defines "counterfeit recordings" as illegal knockoffs of existing commercial CD's, and "bootleg recordings" as illegal recordings of live performances or broadcasts.) In last week's raid officers confiscated hundreds of CD's, seemingly concentrating on the shop's well-stocked section of hip-hop mixtapes. Five employees were arrested and spent the night in jail. All five were charged with failure to disclose origin of a recording in the second degree and trademark counterfeiting in the third degree. After the raid, Brad Buckles, the recording association's executive vice president for anti-piracy, released a statement saying that the Police Department's "steadfast commitment to the fight against piracy has stamped out yet another significant illegal operation." It continued, "Retailers who are making money on the backs of musicians and record companies by selling pirated CD's should know that this is absolutely no way to conduct a business." Reached by telephone yesterday, Mr. Buckles confirmed that an association representative was present during the raid. Note that phrase "musicians and record companies." In its war against illegal music distribution, the association has often treated these two groups as one and the same, arguing that piracy-happy fans are hurting the artists they love. But when it comes to hip-hop mixtapes, it is in a trickier position: the artists themselves often help produce the same mixtapes that the association is trying to squelch, and shrewd record labels long ago figured out that mixtapes can help drive sales of conventional CD's. So while record labels donate money to honor a man who helped promote mixtapes, the trade group representing the labels cracks down on those who sell them. And who goes to jail? Well, suffice it to say that the police haven't arrested any of the major-label record executives who profit from the hype generated by mixtapes. The raid on Mondo Kim's (the East Village location of the Kim's Video chain) was by no means the first of its kind. The recording association has been campaigning against mixtapes for a decade; the organization's 1995 year-end report warned of "the growing popularity of illicit DJ mixes in CD format." The Kim's 5 (has someone printed T-shirts yet?) are probably lucky that they work in a record store frequented by music-industry types (and, yes, the occasional newspaper reporter). When some shop in the Bronx is raided, those hapless clerks can expect far less press coverage. Oddly enough, two people charged in the Kim's case are fairly well-known musicians. One employee arrested was Chuck Bettis, a familiar figure in the experimental-music scene and a veteran of the cult postpunk bands the Meta-Matics and All Scars. Another was Craig Willingham, known as I-Sound, whose discography includes "Music Is a Hungry Ghost" (City Slang), a collaboration with the German electronic group To Rococo Rot. The Kim's case highlights the strange position of hip-hop mixtapes, which have been making a bumpy journey toward the mainstream. There was a time when mixtape fans had little choice but to hit the streets in search of fly-by-night salesmen and out-of-the-way stalls. But when an artist as popular as 50 Cent is releasing new material directly (and sometimes exclusively) to mixtapes, and when hip-hop crews like the Diplomats are supplementing their underground mixtapes with official (that is, licensed and legal) mixtapes, then the boundary between street and store gets harder to maintain. Nowadays, hip-hop fans across the country can buy mixtapes online, although perhaps it is only a matter of time before those Web sites, too, are raided. Meanwhile, some record shops are trying to find creative ways to keep the police and the recording association at bay. After the Kim's raid, perhaps more retailers will follow the lead of one hip-hop shop (which shall remain nameless), where mixtapes are on display but not, strictly speaking, on sale. To get one, you have to buy a CD holder, priced at $7.99 but worth a small fraction of that; with every purchase, you get a "free" mixtape.

I attended (part of) the Barcelona conference last year. There was a nice Vandana Shiva talk and I can't remember much more except the kind of neverending debate supposed to convinced the already convinced (since the opposing part, the "bad guys", of course, did not show up. This was in a much modest left-winged setting, though. Arteleku is a public-funded official-culture space, where SGAE (Spanish monopolistic equivalent of BMI or ASCAP, though it is closer to RIAA, which has no equivalent here) can't afford not to show up. I will not attend that one, since I live 600 kms away, but I can tell you the chosen days are very bad, since friday 24th is a national holiday, which makes this one a long weekend. But, yes, some interesting things are happenning on the copyright wars here in Spain, some of them good, some quite disappointing (like a new law on the horizon). Spain must be one of the main P2P downloaders (not exactly sharers) of the world, and the general perception in society is that "piracy" (forgive me for the word, it is the only word used here, it applies to everything) is good, whatever the media say. I cannot comment on hacklabs since I never attended any. PS: The experimentaclub (www.experimentaclub.com) will have a conference/debate section this year, coordinated by yours truly, where one of the debates will be about "illegal art/music" and another one about "mp3 (the format)". Other interesting things about the festival include (if my information is right) a People Like Us concert. We had a fantastic ECC concert last year ( you can see the pics here: http://www.experimentaclub.com/fest04/the_ecc.htm), and I am trying to keep this rate of at least one anticopyright militant artist per year (though I am not programming the music part of the festival) Anki Toner Steev Hise wrote: >giant copyleft conference in spain next week > >http://ana-en.blogspot.com/2005/06/copyleft-days.html > >version en espanol: >http://ana-es.blogspot.com/2005/06/jornadas-copyleft.html > >official site for it: >http://kopyleft.net/ > >wow i dont recognize ANY of the names. musical acts include >Defunkid, R13, Izate, Mattin > >hmm. > >anyone on this list going and want to report on it? > > >this brings up a thing i recently heard of that happens in spain >a lot, something called a 'hacklab' - from what i can tell its >like a combination of a squat, a lan party, and an artist >collective. or something... > > >best, > >steev > > > >Steev Hise | steev@detritus.net | http://detritus.net/steev >Donate to the Computers for Bolivia Project: http://villaingenio.org/computers/donate.html >blog: http://steev.hise.org | gpg public key: http://steev.hise.org/gpgkey.txt >----------------------------------------------------------------- > "The Internet formula for success turned traditional > capitalism on its head.

He's up to 1959 now. each one features dozens of songs (the latest has 107, actually, and is about 25 minutes long), all ones that he claims to remember. The collages are edited such that they are more 'suave' and easy to listen to than Chart Sweep, and the pace of change is slower, of course. but still interesting as a sort of musical anthropologic document. Also it is another data point in the continuing De Certeau-ian saga of what people are doing with everyday pre-existing culture using what are now everyday tools. not as 'art', not as intellectuals, just cuz it's fun and interesting. They also feature lots of songs you never hear on "oldies" stations - it's stuff people of that generation actually heard and remember, not the artificially created, calculated, list of "hits" that the industry has come up with after the fact. here's his explanation of the project: http://apsey.org/?p=610 here's the latest: http://apsey.org/?p=626 clicking on the 'radio' category of his blog will get you links to the rest, i think... http://apsey.org/index.php?cat=22 I look forward to when he gets to the 80s and 90s. enjoy, smh Steev Hise | steev@detritus.net | http://detritus.net/steev Donate to the Computers for Bolivia Project: http://villaingenio.org/computers/donate.html blog: http://steev.hise.org | gpg public key: http://steev.hise.org/gpgkey.txt ----------------------------------------------------------------- "The computer and its content are not independent of each other." -Nicholas Negroponte ----------------------------------------------------------------- From stalliongsta at yahoo.com Mon Jun 27 13:14:07 2005 From: stalliongsta at yahoo.com (stAllio! the original wanksta) Date: Mon Jun 27 14:14:43 2005 Subject: [Rumori] massive new databent image gallery Message-ID: <20050627201407.36171.qmail@web30413.mail.mud.yahoo.com> i've been working on this for a few weeks now, and i'm ready to launch it to the public: the new stAllio! image-bending gallery: http://www.animalswithinanimals.com/bent/ many of you are probably familiar with the concept of databending, or using data in ways other than intended. in this case, i'm taking digital images and intentionally corrupting the files to create interesting artistic results. this is the new home for my databent image work, and i kick it off with a massive new RRX gallery. this new gallery includes a bunch of new bent JPEG files (about 23 actual bent jpeg files and at least two screencaps of each)... and one cool thing about these JPEGs is that they look different on different computers. yes, the same file when viewed on your machine might look totally different than when i view it on mine. so take a look, and if the files *do* look different, email me a screenshot! beyond that, there are more than 100 images created by bending PSD files. so when i say it's massive, you know i mean it. also, the classic RR8 gallery has been expanded as well as galleryized so you can easily browse through it by looking through thumbnails. --- "I think they would have been very happy to be allowed to defecate on themselves." -Chris Wallace, Fox News http://www.animalswithinanimals.com * http://badtaste4life.com * subscribe to awiannounce, the st!/awia announce list: http://www.animalswithinanimals.com/mailman/listinfo/awiannounce ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
