RE: Anonymity As The Default

"Privacy, anonymity, publicness, responsibility, shame, freedom, self, community...these and other core terms are properly in a royal stew of meaning."

To match a name to a person, for whatever the reason, defines the act of identification, but knowing who one is remains thoroughly elusive, both for the one and for the other, ad infinitum. The very process of identification is a problem in itself, for who is it that matters via such an act, one, or the other, and to what end? I ask this because I am always the one responsible for my own meaning, although the pure seriality of existence is what matters to an identification process, and such an act interprets me as a piece of information, a pattern, or an attribute, for a particular purpose, beyond my control. Seriality is often important, however, for example, when I am my zip code, but even knowing my name does not ensure knowing who I am. It is the verdict of the identification that is problematic here, for one is not a thing, and the power of non-concealment can either enthrall or liberate my non-thinginess, depending upon the verdict involved in the identification. Is that clear? If not, who's problem is that; would not knowing my identity help determine such an answer, because then one would feel the verdict to be such and such, and, hence, the meaning would reveal itself accordingly, as a logos. I may not be "Philo", for instance, anywhere else but in this blog, but I am someone who, like Job, pursues my own meaning, nevertheless and necessarily so, and that is nobody's business but my own (unless, of course, I violate someone else's non-thinginess, either deliberately, or accidentally, by being anonymous. [ps: I am often criticized (bless the employment of "z") of not concerning myself enough with the thinghood of a one's authority, for instance, but that does not make me an anarchist by default, unless I choose so! (or is the contingency of being a default itself non-linear?)]).:)

As I commented at the Copyfight blog, one of the EU's copyright directives (93/98/EEC) seems to restrict recording rights terms to 50 years, so I still don't understand what all the brouhaha is about. Nobody has been able to explain it to me so far.
