I hope the gallery places the mural in a prominent position just inside its front door.
And I hope the copyright holder (artist or gallery) permits free online reproduction of this piece so the message the Olympics (or at least the City of Vancouver) is trying to suppress is spread far and wide.
I also agree with the sentiment that the gallery ought to leave the mural out front and force the city to forcibly remove it. The episode would undoubtedly be captured on video and posted all over the Internet.
My question to the advisory committee is whether this means that it's now inappropriate for a judge to have lunch with a lawyer friend, or engage in email banter with lawyer friends? Is attending the same party now off limits?
The better analogy is whether judges can be members of the same country club as lawyers who might appear before them.
It would be very interesting to see the Florida advisory committee rule against this.
Anyone here know how long the iPhone is exclusive to AT&T? I would love to get an iPhone, but won't use AT&T (even before reading this post) due to poor signal quality in Chicago.
The whole recent ad controversy showing how poor their nationwide 3G coverage is strengthens my decision.
So, I want an iPhone when I can get it with another provider who supports Chicago (and other places) better.
The article indirectly references _The Victorian Internet_ (1998) by Tom Standage. For those interested in this topic, that book is a must read. It is short, and full of interesting stories.
I use material from it in my Social Issues of IT class.

Clearly there is a lot more going on here than Mike had access to.
Granted, "refusing to Twitter" is not a crime. But the fact that the police knew to ask this guy to tweet a disperse message implies there was a history to their interactions. They knew he had the Twitter account; and they knew a sizable portion of the audience was following it.
The fact they they arrested him suggests there was a strong difference of opinion between Kafka and the police about getting the crowd dispersed.
I do hope someone from CBS happens on to this discussion; here is my story.
I used to be addicted to CSI (Las Vegas). Hated to miss it. I was travelling in Europe last winter and figured I would use Hulu to keep up with CSI while away. I found, when I tried it, Hulu checked my IP and wouldn't work for me in Europe.
So, I missed a couple of episodes.
Somewhere along the line, seeing every CSI episode became less important to me. The shows--when I see them--are still great (I like the character that replaced Grissom), but I am less addicted now. And I miss about half the shows.
This isn't a boycott; this isn't a statement that I have some sort of "right" to Hulu. It is simply me recounting that you had me every Thursday night, but you let me break my addiction and now you don't have me.
My data point suggests that letting me view the show from Europe would have been a good thing for you. Perhaps you have other data points that suggest otherwise.
What about Frank Gorshen? And Rich Little, and other impersonators?
Isn't this what they've been doing all along? They perform a "psycho-accoustic" re-creation of the original artist (whether dead or alive) sometimes repeating work originally done and sometimes putting their re-created artist into an entirely new situation.
Is there established case law on the IP relationship between artists and their impersonators?
I was driving behind a GMC SUV yesterday and, for a moment, thought I was behind a new model Honda Civic as, for some reason, the font GM uses for GMC looked to me at first glance as GIVIC. It was a font I associate with Honda, though I have no idea who used it first.

Patent number: 6859936
Filing date: Nov 20, 2001
Issue date: Feb 22, 2005
A friend of mine based in Chicago (who I think came out of the advertising trade) had a very successful product placement consulting practice doing lots of business with TV and movies back in the late 1990s. And, of course, product placement was happening on TV in the 1950s, perhaps earlier on radio.
How stupid the patent office must have been to have granted this patent after the turn of the millennium.
Mike, I think the real story on this one is not the Chuztpah of Denizen (a shark is a shark), rather the incompetence of the Patent Agency.
