Copyright

One of the strange fascinations I have is copyright in all its forms.

This is thanks to Negativland, those four flop-tops from Contra Costa County, who were mercilessly sued by U2's record company for producing a parody of two U2 songs and then sued by their own record company for damages resulting from being sued by U2.

Anyway, Kim Weatherall has a post that refers to a reflection by Mike Madison about Laura Quilter's report on the Comedies of Fair Use event that featured Joy Garnett and Susan Meiselas talking about the "Joywar".

It's a great story with fantastic questions about your stuff, my stuff and our stuff (and a little bit of their stuff).

set aside a few minutes to have a look and a read and a think and tell me what you reckon in the comments.
