[sudoroom] theportofoakland.com or port-of-oakland.com?

[Eddan Katz]

sudo people.

i am planning on buying one of these two domain names for a critical 
parody website of portofoakland.com.
theportofoakland.com or port-of-oakland.com?

along the lines of the yes men's hacktivist campaigns against the WTO 
(http://www.gatt.org/) & the US Chamber of Commerce 
(http://yeslab.org/article/will-real-chamber-commerce-please-stand), 
this type of online intervention relies on the fair use doctrine that is 
a defense to trademark infringement as an alternative to Anonymous DDoS 
attacks. given the mainstream media reporting on previous strikes in 
oakland, this site could also be a resource for journalists willing to 
go beyond copying the port of oakland press release.

would anyone be interested in working on a project putting up a website 
that looks similar to, but clearly different than portofoakland.com and 
writing/soliciting articles from occupy/labor-related groups & initiatives?
the documentary "Race to the Bottom" 
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pXApJKm6uI) could be linked to from the 
front page, for example. other content could be along the lines of 
http://cleanandsafeports.org/ and fed from the various social issues 
activism and reform communities.

expressions of interest, help on some aspect of the project, and 
constructive criticism would be very much appreciated. getting it up by 
may 1 is too ambitious imho, but may be a good impetus to gather 
broad-based input and relevant content.
