Headlines we are inordinately proud of - Part 73

Today's Daily Yomiuri - I didn't edit this one, but I did suggest the headline

SDF ready for Godzilla, but not for aliens

and the day before, I insisted on:

Supreme Court rules 'Shane' copyright won't come back

Thank you, thank you -- we'll be here all week, tip your waitress. Try the veal.

jeeziz, what a clusterfuck. we want unlimited eternal copyright. fuck the public domain. fuck the purposes of culture. endless profit always. nice to see them take a slap, i hope the first of many.
