“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 )
Perhaps you are being mind-controlled by the Greys? HmmmmMMMM?!
ReplyDeleteI might do so. Blogger feed does not support RSS in comments. I could go back to HaloScan, but somehow I broke the format last time I tried it. Is it worth it?
ReplyDeleteI'll put it to the readers. I'd almost rather see a maillist or something. I haven't brought up much discussion-targeted stuff here in a while; that has largely been done in my LiveJournal for the last 6 months or so, because of the ability to limit viewings.
ReplyDeleteI also play with the idea of linking all my web-presences through this blog, but am not sure I want to broadcast who I am wherever I am. Wait. Pronoun trouble.
