Public Park Designated Copyrighted Space
wiggles writes "The City of Chicago recently completed a $475 million park/civic center known as Millennium Park. One of the central features is a sculpture officially called Cloud Gate and unofficially called "The Bean". The Bean is a giant, 3 story, 110-ton hunk of highly reflective steel. Photographers taking pictures of the sculpture have been charged money by the city. The park district is claiming that pictures of the park violate the designers' and artists' copyrights. Quoth Karen Ryan, the press director for the park's project, "The copyrights for the enhancements in Millennium Park are owned by the artist who created them. As such, anyone reproducing the works, especially for commercial purposes, needs the permission of that artist." In response, Chicagoland bloggers have been posting as many pictures as they can get of The Bean."

is the best place to go for information like this. They cover the real stories rather than the ones that the Bush-controlled media covers. People just don't realize the horrors Bush has in plan for this once great country. My wife and most of my friends work at Peachtree Airport in Atlanta, GA. Bush is working hard to have it destroyed and all of their employees put out of work.
PS: If you're ever flying into Atlanta, try to fly into Peachtree. It's much easier to get in and out of than Hartsfield Atlanta International. It's also closer to town and much closer to Buckhead/Lennox.
Canada's waiting. Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
Your analogy sucks
No, it doesn't.
They DID attack because they were Muslim extremists.
No, they attacked because they are pissed, rightly or wrongly, at our foreign policy. That they happen to be Muslim is largly irrelevant.
