APOLOGiES As the poems tell, I'm acquainted w/the scene and a fan of it since 1994, when I was 17 years. Nowadays, with so many hackers, phreakers, rogue pro- grammers and cyber-pirates falling, accused, sued, etc I've thought of it and come to the conclusion that there is, for me, no way of beign prosecuted for breaking the law w/the computer. I've been always good and careful, I've ne- ver jeopardized my freedom doing illegal things like: phreaking, hacking, spreading virii, rogue coding, etc. I've never supported piracy nor did I co- mmit any type of fraud inspired by underground, clandestine, lectures and/or moods. I have never contributed to the circulation of dishonest information like: kiddy porn, explosive's recipes, witchcraft texts and the like...altho- uhg one "/magik" directory on my former system always was there keeping on growing, I have always being selective w/the files on it, letting there only textsof the occult w/no connections to witchcraft. My systems were always oriented towards text art and alternative publishing excluing the types of files that I've named. But always I think of this things: that's why I come to the point of apologizing for the things _I_ have done: the unauthorized use of somebody's else personage and paraphernalia, wich is Boromir (c) JRR Tolkien and the Silmarill. This was when I've wrote for CRC in 1997, bu that is no all, I've also choosen my nickname "pop-a" ba- sed on the "P.R.y.S.R.d.R" (ie: los redondos) 's song "The Great Pop Beast". Redondos influence can be seen in those 1997 poems. Lastly, I've heard underworld's song "Bruce Lee" wich has a liric wich app- ears to say "life kid" I liked the phrase and I've done an ascii logo wich says "life kid"... then started to speculate about copyrights and decided to be very careful from that moment onwards. I revised the poems and took out all the infringiments of copyright that I could find. I want to be forgiven for mi alienated poemas of Circe/1997, and I want to live peacefully and never disturbed by nobody respecting my life w/the compu- ter. MY LIFE *IS THE COMPUTER*. peace and freedom from the earth. S. Guha Kovi.
