Registration is up for the FreeNetworks Conference. Also, the Call for Papers is still open, so if you’ve got something you want to show off to the Wireless Community Networking crowd, now is the time to speak up!

DISCLAIMER: Yes, this is blatant advertising for a conference that I’m helping to put together. But really, it’ll be great! Wireless organizers from all over the world will be descending on Las Vegas this June. And at $250, it’s even competitively priced with BurningMan, only without the mud. Or maybe it’s a bit like DefCon but without the Feds. At any rate, it should be a great time, with the participants of some of the most interesting networking projects on the planet…

For her latest album’s cover, Madonna strikes a pose reminiscent of Alberto Korda’s famous photo of Che Guevara, the Marxist revolutionary who wrote a book on guerrilla warfare that’s still in print.

Madonna’s team has embraced unconventional tactics to thwart internet sharing of the new album’s tracks before its official release — such as flooding sharing networks with phony tracks which feature Madonna cursing at downloaders: “What the f*** do you think you’re doing?”

The internet’s indigenous info-guerrillas have responded by remixing Madonna’s tantrum to a techno beat:

Further, Undercover Media of Australia reports that Madonna.com was hijacked to provide free MP3 downloads of all the album’s tracks over the weekend.

As of this writing, madonna.com is unresponsive — and there’s no telling if this “hack” was an actual pro-sharing guerrilla raid or a publicity-stunt PsyOp from the Madonna regime.

Does the Material Girl stand a chance of curtailing music-sharing in the Immaterial World of slippery bits?
