Art from Economy 2.0

It's a shiny black box.

It comes with an EULA.

The EULA says you have to feed it the Internet.

The black box will then sell itself on E-Bay.

You have to pack it up and ship it to the new owner. You get 85% of the proceeds, the artist gets 15%.

When the shiny black box arrives, the new owner must feed it the Internet...

You mean:

The EULA says you have to feed it the Internet.
The shiny black box monitors everything in your house.
The shiny black box files all this data on a secret location owned by the Artist.
If you disconnect shiny black box from the Internet before shiny black box has sold itself to another owner, shiny black box disperses anthrax spores throughout your home.
...
Artist blackmails you later using data from your own house.

No, that's the evil version. You can tell because it's shiny white instead of the pure black.

And is called "A Tool to Assist and Heal" rather than "Deceive and Slaughter"?

[dsrtao]

Right. Also, that one makes copies of itself in the middle of the night.

Does it say that I can't hook it up to a 1 byte per hour connection? Assuming I wanted to hold onto it for a reasonable length of time...

The black box will then sell itself on E-Bay.

Or try to—the current auction has a starting bid of $6,858.00, a shipping cost of $50, and no bidders.

We need to ask the Supreme Court whether it has First Amendment rights.

I want to make a joke about 3/5 of a right, but I don't know how to make it funny.
