More like blog fraud, if you ask me. :) But TypeKit did make the mistake of writing language that sounds "legal", rather than English. (The ISC license is the only I can think of that is written in English, and for that you have to disregard the disclaimer, which is written in Alpha Centauran.) TypeKit embeds my fonts, as a service to others; they should embed the copyright string with the font, but it doesn't really matter, because I do not require attribution when someone embeds my fonts. Some _do_ require attribution for embedding (Jos Buivenga, for one), but I'm not sure it's TypeKit who needs to do the attributing; rather the website using the font. Personally, I think requiring attribution for the use of a text font is somewhat like requiring a painter to follow the signature with a note about what brand of paint, brushes, palettes, and easles were used.
