Former Penthouse Lawyer On Thumbnails

Posted by timothy on from the this-is-your-brain-on-thumbnails dept.

FullyIonized writes: "Gigalaw.com has an interesting article on the legality of using thumbnail images written by an attorney for Penthouse magazine, who "had to be familiar with the entire Penthouse-catalog of photos and models, and ... proactively surfed the Net in search of kidnapped images." He summarizes an interesting case, and then argues that pr0n thumbnails (among others) are different from other thumbnails."
