Also, I just found this piece at Boing Boing.  h/t: Whitechapel

Shanna looks awesome!  Ka-Zar looks like he was flayed alive.

The writer is losing his shit, huh?  You wouldn't know it from his rant, but there are actually very good arguments for orphaned works reform.  And this bill will probably have no effect on him, at least not until decades from now.

Copyright protections in the U.S. are out of control – currently anything created prior to about 1922 is in the public domain, but very little created since, unless explicitly placed in the public domain by creators.  The result of this is that vast, vast quantities of material held by libraries, collectors and museums cannot be distributed digitally because ownership status is unclear or unknown.

All this law does is open the door so that content of unclear ownership can eventually be freed up for distribution.  The most recent version of this bill to be introduced to the House of Representatives affects no work that is less than fifty years old, and requires a $1 fee be paid to preserve copyright on any item more than 50 years old, up to 95 years, at which time copyright lapses.

It is benign, and the people who oppose it are the likes of the MPAA and the RIAA, and dupes who believe their propaganda.  The only way it might negatively affect artists is by freeing up an avalanche of old free content that might compete with new content they create for income purposes.

And I should because it's become really hot these days in my country.

You're about halfway between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer, right?  Hate to break it to you, but you'd better get used to the heat.

Well, I like it but it's just two frames!  I think you need to do one that has five or six frames.

I've never heard any reports of Larry behaving unethically or dishonestly, so I would tend to believe he was the misled party.

Fucked like Doakes, or fucked like cattle with a prod?

That's not what the prod is for.

Whose idea was it for Kara Mann to pull a Subaru?

Not to make lite of the deaths of two people, or the near death of a 3rd, but I had no idea it was possible to type yourself to death.

We are truly living in stange days..

Well, Om Malik is 80 pounds overweight, and the other two gentlemen were also quite heavy.

With his last known words, however, Shaw proves himself to be a blogger among bloggers:
“Have come down with something. Resting now posts to resume later today or tomorrow.”
