McCain in Trouble for Copyright Infringement

Perhaps it was the mention of disputed fair use that caught my attention.

Jackson Browne is not a conservative AND has a history of not allowing his music to be used in ads. Yet, part of “Running on Empty” evidently was matched to video in a McCain presidential ad.

Now, the lawyers are involved. Perhaps the participants failed to read the new treatise on copyright and fair use. Should politicians (and teachers) be models for the rest of us? It is interesting to read what lawyers have to say.

Blogs end up being about complex connections. As the amount of material I have generated over the years is considerable, I have lost track of whether or not I have offered related content in the past. The idea of identifying connections within this collection of entries is appealing.

Yet Another Related Post Plugin is a tool (a WordPress Plugin) that automatically lists related resources. You don’t see these links from the main page of this blog, but you will if you examine “single entry pages”. So, click the title of an entry that interests you (the topic, not necessarily what I have to say about it) and you should encounter a list of related content. I keep hoping I once said something profound and just don’t remember where I put it. Perhaps I will discover that I keep repeating the same 4 or 5 ideas and I just assume I have something new to say.

This is a test and I will see what I and others think of this technique.
