New T-Shirt: Home Cooking Is Killing Restaurants
from the and-it's-delicious dept
In the 80s, the BPI launched its now-iconic campaign to combat an early form of copyright infringement: Home Taping Is Killing Music.
Of course, as it turned out, that wasn't true — music is alive and well — and the notion that taping songs from the radio for personal use should qualify as copyright infringement is questionable to begin with (even if it's not at all surprising that record labels saw it that way). Naturally, the campaign was and is ripe for parody (Techdirt friend Dan Bull even made a whole song about it) and our favorite is a simple alternative version...
And so we introduce a new t-shirt (or hoodie!) from Techdirt: Home Cooking Is Killing Restaurants:
Just like our last t-shirt, we're offering this one via Teespring as a limited-time campaign. From now until July 4th, you can get the Home Cooking Is Killing Restaurants design on a men's or women's t-shirt or a high-quality hoodie in a variety of colors — so order yours today!
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

I think I will hold off on any orders from them until I've at least received the last one.

Surely they need protection against unfair competition!

Great restaurants drive good home cooking.
Still, I like the T-shirt.

Most of it isn't coming from the labels, though.

Could I interest you in a "blockhead commenter" t-shirt instead?

If Hollywood doesn't like inane analogies perhaps they shouldn't make stupid insane claims.

Using yesterday to steal from tomorrow.
BTW the nerd harder XL's are a bit snug.

Ludicrous comparison.
Comparing home taping from that era to the current situation is akin to comparing a pimple to Stage Four Melanoma.
