Resolved: The issues raised explicitly by Shields in "Reality Hunger"
and implicitly by Hegemann in "Axolotl Roadkill" are vitally important
for fiction writing in the Digital Age, even if, ironically, these
issues aren't entirely new (think Dada) or original (cf. David
Markson), themselves.

Anyone?

To all those who are outraged at Helene Hegemann's "free-
appropriation" of passages from Airen's "Strobo," I ask you this:
Where would Jazz be without unattributed "quotes"? Where would hip-hop
be without "sampling"? Where would popular music be without "covers"?
And that's just for starters. In fact, intellectual property rights is
a very recent (late 19th & 20th century phenomenon (a product of
rapacious capitalism as much as protection for the artists).
