But here's what I wonder. How do such non-corporeal things become artifacts? I mean, it's one thing for the Amulet, because its effects became altered through the computer. In this case, we're talking about something already non-corporeal.

A side question for the Heaven's Gate Homepage, why was it only isolated to that computer. I kind-of get it, but also not. If any website can become an artifact, hypothetically, then feasibly only websites whose effects are dangerous enough to warrant collection could feasibly be collected, where-as a website whose effects are not so fightable as Heaven's Gate are even more dangerous.

I guess I'm simply a bit confused as to what exactly triggers the artifact creation, and how exactly one goes about neutralizing it (I know it's a bit of a case-by-case basis anyway, but still).

My idea for neutralizing, though a bit strange, is something along these lines: certain websites become artifacts. Because anyone can access these sites, it becomes hard to limit access. The ideal solution is, of course, to isolate the site onto a USB Drive, or even a computer without access to the internet (if the artifact requires use to keep it happy, in those cases). But how can one move the website onto a USB Drive without accessing it? It may be that, in some cases, Agents may have to travel into the Internet itself. The idea is one which has a lot of tangles to it, obviously, but it might be something along the lines of Dona Fausta's Brooch causing the television to become a holding place for the artifact's world (in this case, a computer). It may be that one has to access it from a computer in the Warehouse (not the main computer), somehow neutralize the website in order for someone like Claudia to access it and force it onto a Drive (as you said, probably with a counter-code of some type), and return through the same computer.

For some reason, looking above, I feel like there might be two ideas trying to be mixed in one, but it is a tad confusing.
