Wow. Alison Bechdel and Judy Horacek, move over — the Great One has arrived.
]]>One of which is called “What Do Women Really Want? Chocolate!” Wow, between that and the racism we’ve got a real feminist paragon here.
]]>I’m aware of at least one case on the point, but I don’t remember if it is “published” and therefore counts as precedent. It’ll take me a while to dig it back up – check back on this thread in a little bit and I’ll post what I find. My memory is that it had to do with an allegedly botched Lasik operation and the victim’s use of the internet to publicize his dispute with the doctor. IIRC, it wound its way through the PA state appellate courts.
]]>Touche. Although I’m still unsure of what will happen when the web is inundated with bad Barstow cartoons and critical comments about them. Who will learn the lesson — besides maybe Barstow, if it even goes that far?
*I sort of hope this, or something similar, goes to US court. I don’t know of a case with similar underpinnings (single panel cartoonist contesting re-publication of her cartoons in a critical context on the web). I’d like to see some good precedence on this, if it doesn’t exist already. It’s too easy to bully ISPs into taking stuff down, legit or not, because of possible liability. Even if you’re in the right, you’re lucky if you have an ISP that will deal with any litigation it doesn’t have to deal with.
]]>Can someone come over and help me figure out how my DVD works? I mean, where do you put the tape in?
]]>I have to say, I find it rather novel that someone would refer to having their racist artwork called out and denounced for being racist as a “hate crime.”
