In the News: You can buy a piece of Osama! Historic Bin Laden website expired on (9-11-01 and owned by OBL's family) is being sold off 'one pixel at a time'   
Christopher Curry, Technology Principal for SHRIMPO LLC, an Internet technology consulting firm, has announced a new campaign for a
controversial set of Osama Bin Laden family owned website, www.saudi-binladin-group.com, had a coincidental expiration date of
September 11, 2001 and has been the subject of Internet and much conspiracy speculation. Christopher Curry had developed a method
which legally took control of Osama Bin Laden family's official website, the Saudi Binladin Group, which expired simultaneously
along with the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

The new website's incarnation is to sell off the website's pixels to advertisers and citizens wishing to own a piece of Internet
history by displaying their messages and graphics on this historic website. Curry states the main mission of the website as "Normal
citizens can 'own a piece of Osama and history' and show the power of capitalism over tyranny and by proudly owning small pixels on
this one of a kind historic website. This clearly was not our original idea; however, we applaud the original and brilliant author
and feel this is a great way to further our message of turning a tyrannical event into one of peace, nationalism and capitalism -
those three things which are despised by a terrorist movement such as that run by Osama Bin Laden. In doing this, we hope to have
pixilated the mission of Osama one piece at a time."

Prices range from 50 cents (US) per pixel in blocks of 10x10 pixels. Fees are determined based upon the positioning and visibility
of the graphics placed by users. The various expiration dates, for user's pixels, range from one to eight years.

SHRIMPO LLC plans to donate a large amount of pixel-profits to charities listed on his websites; particularly the American Red Cross
and C'Amai, an environmental awareness group. Curry has also remained committed to harvesting a large collection of emails from the
expired domain names; so far, it has collected megabytes of email messages between Bin Laden family members, corporate
correspondences, and terrorist sympathizers.

Giving a voice to ideas is the essence behind shrimpo LLC's methodology of creative technology solutions for businesses. Curry says
"Technology is just not my living; it is my entire translation of how I interact with all elements of my life - including coming to
terms with those parts of society which I perceive as irregular or could use correction."

humans, ideas and technology.
