i probably wouldn’t have seen it without jj posting it here (and i then linked to it from yahoo! finance when arguing over a media share price (like most it’s been under $5 all year)).

i imagine a few others have seen the loveable ceo dogbert because of it… some probably laughed like i did.

thanks!

I don’t suppose that some supporting evidence would be possible.

You know – a verifiable cite to Craig Newmark or the Facebook founder saying that he didn’t believe in copyright.

Yes, I know that both Craigslist and Facebook have been sued by folks claiming copyright violations. So has every major publishing house, newspaper, record company, movie studio, and so on. No one thinks that they look down on copyright. (Every major author has also be sued for copyright violation, but I’ll concede that some authors look down on copyright.)

>>>If copyright worked that way anybody with limited coding skills could duplicate an entire site and wrap it in their own ads, and the content owner couldn’t do a damn thing.

No! Because once you do that, the freetards suddenly discover the wonderful power of copyright. Look at Team Skype, Facebook or Craigslist, all of which recently filed suits asserting a right they have looked down on in the past.

Really though I was responding to R Freeman’s idea that a website can take whatever content it likes by embedding it. I meet this absurd idea all the time, and as someone who creates content for a living it angers the hell out of me.

If copyright worked that way anybody with limited coding skills could duplicate an entire site and wrap it in their own ads, and the content owner couldn’t do a damn thing.

And Jeff is profiting from this infringement by displaying ads on the page.

So I too would like to know Jeff: did you get permission to reprint the cartoon?
