Hmm. I see what you mean. Just visited the WP site. It does seem to be a minefield to set up something like a new site, what with permission to use material, copyright, etc.
Taking your critic's point, though, it does seem difficult to come up with something new. Using the same things but on a different site would probably have only a limited shelf-life.
I'd love to set up a site in honour of Ted Hughes and put up all my favouite poems by him, but it'd only be a matter of time before I got hung for breaking copyright. It's a pity, isn't it. It's not as though we'd be making money on it or anything. I guess that's the way of the Capitalist West - appreciation of a cause counts for nothing - they can't seem to understand that people would do something out of love rather than for money.
Not just that....certain people aren't permitting the name of their site to be mentioned, or their link used...and then there's the copyright thing, too...
Why haven't you joined? Did your invite get lost in the mail?? Come on! :)
It's the blooomin' coldest day of the year and my hands are frozen and I'm going to go take this test and I don't wanna !
Freak the corporate world! Do your site! Are we gonna let the hippie era die out?! Do it ! :-D
