Pixels for your adverts and messages: Historic Binladin preowned site expired on 9-11-01 / Own Part of History   
> 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."
>
> SHRIMPO LLC, http://www.shrimpo.com, is an innovative business consultancy group focused on streamlining communications between
> humans, ideas and technology.
