“Amazing Progress”


Maybe I watched too much Simpsons this morning (three episodes from the 4th season), but the links below the headline article on CNN.com this morning struck me as possibly intentional humor. Is it just me?

Intellectual Property 101 question: is the use of the screen shot to the right a violation of CNN’s copyright, or is it fair use as an excerpt for review/commentary? I vote for fair use, of course. This site has no commercial purpose, the size of the excerpt is small relative to the source document, and it’s pretty silly to make a case that this use will mislead the public or weaken CNN’s trademark.

OK, time to get to work. Too much to do this weekend — my first deliverable at the new job is due Monday.
