No. I don't think it has been posted.
This is great. Totally paranoid. I love it. It is of course absolutely true. Except, the implied purpose, that of intelligence gathering for political motive, is the subtle mistake that turns the whole idea into a delusion. The motive is commercial interest, protection and projection of US copyright, and profit. No matter.
Just the idea that the US government is in league with M-suck is perfect. Hopefully M-suck will come to collide with WTO policies in some bizarre and unforseen way, along with GM foods in a kind of twisted science fiction plot.
I am breathlessly awaiting the sequel.
