hmmm, interesting point. I suppose I liked it because I intend to rip it from capitalists, copyrights be damned...but I can see your point in such an association. I had been using the "convert" binary lots lately on my linux machine and it was the first thing I thought of because of it.

turning expressions of the capitalist system and its media culture against itself"[5]—as when slogans and logos are turned against their advertisers or the political status quo

I really like the word detournement, but it's a mouthfull...
