Parody:

April 28, 2000 by Michael Boyle

A lot of people linked to the Elian-Whassup parody yesterday. As expected, Wired News has the story today. The story is interesting though: the guy from AP admits that “[we] police our copyright as aggressively as we can, although this is the first time that I can remember us going after a parody site.”

Uh, if you’re claiming copyright infringement, it’s probably not a good idea to be quoted admitting that the infringing item is a parody, which is generally considered to fall under the scope of fair use.

Jenn seems to think that someone could possibly be offended by my “X is the new orange” posts. Uh, that never occurred to me. It’s just light teasing. Comes from respect, not from aggression or anything of that nature.

I don’t know how it’s going to work, but having Nasdaq’s first subsidiary here in Montreal is a Good Thing. I hope so anyhow.

Keith Brown dot com. The design seems more yellow than orange to me. Maybe white and yellow are the new orange?
