In case you missed it, Andy Baio posted a long, smart, and extremely sad blog post about fair use and his experience making a cool piece of art, going above and beyond to try to make sure everything was above board, and then getting screwed on a copyright issue and paying a $32,500 (!!!) settlement.
http://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/ He's requesting people make donations to the EFF, which is classy, but if you haven't bought the record yet, it's a nice way to help him recoup those legal costs — plus for $5 you get a download in MP3 or FLAC of a seriously badass chiptune jazz record. I recommend it highly! http://kindofbloop.com/ Parker -- parker higgins berlin, germany http://parkerhiggins.net gmail / gchat: [email protected] twitter / identi.ca: @thisisparker skype: thisisparker please consider software freedom before reading this e-mail on a proprietary platform
