Techdirt Gear In Action
from the live-and-up-close dept
It's been nearly a year since we started offering Techdirt t-shirts, hoodies and more on Teespring, and in that time we've seen quite a few tweets showing off some great photos (and one video!) of the gear upon arrival or out in the wild. Since we've just put most of last year's designs back in the store — and since we're gearing up to launch a new design next week — I figured it might be time to show off some of those photos and encourage those of you who already have Techdirt gear, or are getting it soon, to share new ones!
Most recently, a few folks have been tweeting photos of our I Invented Email gear, including one of our favourite parody accounts...

...and FIRE's Sarah McLaughlin:
My new shirt was delivered today. On that note, support @techdirt: https://t.co/1jNcGG1xgY pic.twitter.com/rrB68vqPvu

But the best is when we get to see Techdirt gear truly in action, like when Keith Lee rocked a Takedown t-shirt for an interview on a law show:
Since I’m going to be on @thisweekinlaw today, I’m totally rocking my @techdirt shirt. @mmasnick pic.twitter.com/sIX4JczKoM

(You can watch the episode here, though you won't see much of the t-shirt.)
And here's a video of Brett Haddock in a Nerd Harder t-shirt (the only classic design that hasn't returned yet, but stay tuned!) asking his congressman about his stance on encryption:

It's also nice to know that our gear might occasionally break the ice between strangers, such as this completely random encounter on the streets of Dublin, Ireland:

Of course, what I really want to see is an encounter between two strangers who are both wearing Copying Is Not Theft gear. But the only candidate we've spotted so far lives in North Dakota:

If you feel a little left out after all of that, then it might be time to head to the Techdirt Gear store on Teespring and treat yourself! And if you do, or you already have, tweet a photo or video and tag @Techdirt so we see it — especially if you're doing something fitting like grilling a politician, or for that matter grilling a nice steak.
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

Re: And yet these names never show up in the comments here.
I'm an ardent supporter of plenty of sites on which I've never commented.

Re: And yet these names never show up in the comments here.
My support is "alleged" because instead of commenting, I spend money to help Techdirt.
Alternative realities, I guess.

Well, well. I look in after year and a half on the very day Masnick has a new "study" at the moribund "Copia" site!
The Genetic Resources of Finland
A Data Innovation Case Study
Added on March 17, 2016
And the prior one was:
The Carrot Or The Stick?
Innovation vs. Anti-Piracy Enforcement
Added on October 8, 2015
And that one got all of 2 Comments
So now I know how Masnick is spending his time: obviously playing a lot of "fantasy football".
