“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 )
Tsk, tsk - y'all ain't even trying :P

Ooh, also forgot to credit you for the find. Sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteTell ya what - replace the tragically non-functional video above with the working version and we'll call it square.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the sentiment, but TSOG didn't reveal a working link, and I'm not going to keep doing a do-see-do with the YouTube-sniffing lawyers to keep the video up. If you have an official link that won't disappear, I'll happily change it, and thank you for it.
ReplyDeleteOh, you and your wacky obedience of the law! Here you go - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dollhouse/14409357519
ReplyDeleteFrom what I gather, it's all official and crap.
It officially doesn't have an "embed" function, but thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteDe nada!
