in Cory Doctorow's 2005.01.11 boingboing post Who did MPAA rip off "You can click but you can't hide" from? Doctorow traces a remixological hystory that speculatively leads from Joe Louis to The Road Warrior to John Perry Barlow to the Grateful Dead + then to the MPAA. as Doctrow writes "they appropriated it, reversed the meaning it had been imbued with by its copyfighting popularizer, and put it out there, not even bothering to credit Lewis or Barlow."
