Busted

Remember the post where I linked to a stripper - magician act? Well, I was asked to take it down by the people who own the show. It's too bad....... although they indicated that the material found in my post was copyrighted material, they weren't very specific. So I'm really not sure what the exact problem was, the mention of the show, the link to the video clip (most likely), or the freeze-frame pic of said clip. But - oh well......... now it's gone.

God bless copyright.............

Yeah, I don't think they get the concept that this was free advertising for them. You can't buy free advertising like the kind you get when a blog mentions your product.

I also don't think they comprehend the concept of 'fair dealing' (look it up in wikipedia). I was under the assumption that my post was covered by that caveat. But I'm not a lawyer, and you need to be one to understand copyright law.
