The annoying pedant might then be more troublesome..<BR/><BR/>That's not a world I particularly want to see. Yet we have already made moved significantly towards it in the last decade.<BR/><BR/>Anyway..<BR/><BR/>(Oh: The cartoon was in no way needed to discuss either the RIAA or the Wired piece, nor was the cartoon itself critiqued).<BR/><BR/>(And I'm aware some members of the IPKat have written about IP and society, though those pieces aren't easily available via the internet ;).

There's any number of anecdotal cases of people talking about building hype around a product by releasing it under a CC license or similar.<BR/><BR/>You can believe those or not, but the argument that the music industry is cutting off its nose to spite its face is hardly outright spurious.Uncle Petiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644282689147411623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-45113511971400520022008-06-22T18:36:00.000+01:002008-06-22T18:36:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123244020588707776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-45464410597514094962008-06-22T18:33:00.000+01:002008-06-22T18:33:00.000+01:00Paul, Just what is your problem?

Both seem to have been satisfied by the IPKat so I am clueless as to where the "amusing oversight" is to be found other than in your post. Also, how is the link in your comment any different to the article?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-87466435223504034752008-06-22T17:56:00.000+01:002008-06-22T17:56:00.000+01:00The cartoon is from Geek&Poke, which licenses them...The cartoon is from <A HREF="http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/" REL="nofollow">Geek&Poke</A>, which licenses them under a CC licence requiring attribution.
