Web to have no images by 2001...


© Creed Stonegate

Greetings!

Welcome to my bi-weekly article about great entertainment images on the web. I've just found out about some alarming news about images on the Internet.

We all know that Fox television has been shutting down sites with content from their shows. Well, today, a spokesman from Fox said at a major news conference that they're going to start targeting sites with any images at all. "The use of any graphic on any Internet web site is a clear infringement of our rights as a multinational tyrannical corporation," a top spokesman stated, "We're going to start badgering children with sites first, because they're easy to scare." Their plan shows a fully textual Internet by 2001. Even if they miss a few sites, nobody will visit them because the phone lines across the world will be overloaded as their lawyers make threatening calls. This plan is suspected to be linked to the company's purchase of the Lynx text-only internet browser. They recommend replacing all of your graphics with text descriptions of what the picture would look like if it was there. In my next article, I'll talk about the best places to find some great descriptions of the coolest pictures that used to be on the internet.

Its not just the tyrannical companies Creed. It's photographers, graphic artists and anyone who creates something and puts it out in the public domain. They spent their time, effort and money to creat ...

If someone copied my work, I'd be somewhat upset, but not as uptight as any of those "tyrannical companies" get. Everyone has to learn not to be uptight. If they're not doing it for money, and I get a ...

Clarification noted. I think big companies should be in competition for good will (future $) not just now-$. I.e., lighten up as you said. Meanwhile, we need to be careful. Thanks for explaining. ...
