Tim sez, "Last year International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day was created by author Jo Walton in response to remarks by Howard V. Hendricks opposing 'the increasing presence in our organization [the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America] of webscabs, who post their creations on the net for free'.
Today is the first anniversary of International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day and the celebration continues. Authors and artists, including notable singer/songwriter Tom Smith, are again celebrating by releasing some of their works into the wilds. One place you can find them is at a LiveJournal community set up for this new holiday."
(Thanks, Tim!)
