Copyright Advocacy Group Violates Copyright

Posted by kdawson on from the how-to-thoroughly-discredit-yourself dept.

word munger writes "Commercial scholarly publishers are beginning to get afraid of the open access movement. They've hired a high-priced consultant to help them sway public opinion in favor of copyright restrictions on taxpayer-funded research. Funny thing is, their own website contains several copyright violations. It seems they pulled their images directly from the Getty Images website — watermarks and all — without paying for their use."

    Wow, that was HILARIOUS. You're quite a catch, so let's talk about why... your nick is c0dehax0|2 or something equally lame you trot out the most trite Simpson's quote you can think of as though it were something new and funny your subject line is Owned, except, you don't start with an O. No, you, my exceptionally witty friend, you use a zero. I mean, why do I even bother pointing out your idiocy when it is so blatantly obvious? Grow up.
