[NetBehaviour] Mislaid right to parody

[ruth catlow]

Thanks James and Rob for having this conversation here.

Especially for two things

1)  "about to Godwin" (excellent verbing of a proper noun- like it) took 
me here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law
Going to use that a lot now.
That's two Godwins to be grateful for now.

2) great disambiguation
"more platonism. The idea that "the work" is information independent 
from its substrate and that we are buying that substrate-independent 
form. It's a bit Cartesian and a bit Shannon and a bit idealistic."

Thanks chaps!
