(Why Moore still works with an authoritarian institution such as News Corp. is somewhat puzzling; the Murdoch empire have consistently shown themselves to be enemies of free expression, from pulling the BBC off their satellites at China's request to supporting draconian extensions to "copyright" laws to being the only agency outside the Chinese government to condemn and denounce the Falun Gong movement.)
"By any means necessary", i guess. What publisher did "No Logo" come out on?
No Logo's published by Harper Collins; Ms. Klein makes a point of stating who her publisher is in the book, and actually disses HC or whoever owns them at one stage, I think. I suppose you've got to get published somewhere; it might be possible to sell CDs as an indie, but I can't imagine it's too easy publishing books as an indie. Unless you do it through AK Press or someone like that.
Is No Logo still in print? After 9-11, I'd have thought that HarperCollins would have cut short its print run because it's "unpatriotic" to criticise the corporations that make America great ("if you want to do that, why dontcha move to Afghanistan and join one of them flag-burnin' rallies") and because they need the resources to print patriotic books.
Still, if they do that, Naomi Klein owns the copyright and can take it to someone else, so this could be a big coup for Feral House or whoever.
i was just thinking verso [http://www.versobooks.com/] or autonomedia [http://www.autonomedia.org/].

meybe it's a love-hate relationship of convenience, rather than be a crusader, moore's just found himself a nice gig. sort of like rushkoff talks about in coercion, where media outlets coopt so-called "trusted sources."
