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? -- Lee Dickey, University of Waterloo.
