Coming Soon -

Brillo Magazine, Issue #4: "The Cease and Desist Issue," including:

A tactical brochure on how to resist corporate strong arm tactics like cease and desist letters;
Reflections on the growing corporate control of internet bandwidth, a public resource;
A report on the decimation of artistic freedom and the sapping of the vitality of language by wonky corporate-types trying to cover their trademarked butts;
And, of course, a complete and faithful rendering of our trials and tribulations with Church & Dwight Co., Inc.

The Online Museum of Cease and Desist Letters:

That's right - pull 'em out of the files... Have you gotten a threatening letter from a corporate interest? Know someone else who did? Scan 'em in and send 'em over to brillo@brillomag.net! Also, let us know what happened to you. We're particularly interested in what happened to people who resisted the first letters - anybody out there actually go to court? Who won? What did they get? The best way to fight legal intimidation is to disseminate information about what can actually happen to people who tell multinationals that there's room in the world for satire, irony, puns, appropriation, and other wonderful things...
