Photobucket - Video and Image HostingMichael Crook vs. EFF and 10 Zen Monkeys.

From Technoccult, "If you haven't heard, an online prankster named Michael Crook is trying to abuse the DMCA to have unflattering pictures of himself taken off of web sites. 10 Zen Monkeys (RU Sirius's new zine) and the EFF are fighting back. I'm suggesting everyone put a pic of Crook and a link to the 10ZM page to 1."

"This is yet another case of someone intentionally misusing copyright law to try to shut down legitimate debate on an issue of public interest."

(and here's a code snippet you can add to your blog)


also, via [info]greenglowgrrl: if 100,000 people visit their website, this realestate outfit will donate "Australia's Biggest Billboard" to the NSW Department of Community Services (the agency charged with caring for foster children).

Have a click-through. You might even like to pass the word around.

hope you don't mind my just copy/pasting "if 100,000 people visit their website, this realestate outfit will donate "Australia's Biggest Billboard" to the NSW Department of Community Services (the agency charged with caring for foster children)." into an email to send to my address book for help :)

don't want to upset anyone for 'stealing' their words or nuttin' and it was easier than thinking up my own paraphrased version :)

til next....

I can't remember anymore what website our icons came from. Do you remember? Would you please point me there if so?

I don't honestly know enough about his "prankster" specifics to judge how I feel about him, and as to whether or not I would want someone else to have the right to put embarressing photos of me on their website? Well, of course I'd want the right to have them taken down. We should have that right, generally.

You make some good points.

I think the thing that's really scored against him is that not only has he been using the evil DCMA legislation to try to have this done, instead of suing for defamation or somesuch, but he's been using the legislation illegally and in a bullying way.
