This kind of stuff has been going on for artists for years
in the United States. I remember a ceremonial burning that
the famous Tucson artist, Ted deGrazia, had in which he
destroyed a large number of nice things. He had good press
coverage. There was a similar case of the "Artist in Residence"
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the mid-1960's.
The IRS got after him too.
Artists can donate painting to art galleries and other "charitable
organizations", thereby getting a big tax writeoff. I wonder if
perhaps we should establish a museum of programs, so that programmers
could contribute their efforts, and thereby gain a similar writeoff?
