“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
oooooh!
ReplyDeletewho's the music?
I backtracked up the copsnrobbers site to the main page, then smooshed back down through to their music videos page. It says Northern Light: "Treat Me Better." More google hits returned for Northern Lite, so I'm guessing the more common spelling is that. Apparently they are not easy to find. Remember that, with a saved .mov file, you can import it into iTunes and "Convert to AAC" to retain only the sound portion, if the sound quality is acceptable to you.
ReplyDeleteAh. iTunes likes "lite" better.
