Did Someone Say The Crush Project???



More than one friend sent me a link to this article in the Times about -- *gasp* -- Fake Ads on Craigslist!

This, perhaps, could be how my two favorite Crush Project Recordings, blink and wink, came about:
Across the country, aspiring writers are using Craigslist not just as a place to offload their futons, but as a pixeled writing workshop where they test their stabs at social satire on some of the more than 30 million visitors that the site draws each month. Their personal ads ostensibly seek a soul mate, but what they’re really looking for is an audience.

I wonder if said "aspiring writers" would appreciate me just helping myself to their work? Is this what they consider "an audience"? What do all those copyright symbols on CL actually cover? Thoughts?
