• Thoughts of a Bohemian:

    A woman copied 24 songs, she gets fined $1.92 million dollars. That is $220,000 a song. Corbis looses 16,000 images, they get fined $7 dollars per image. Justice anyone ?

    Feature Shoot:

    Angus Rowe MacPherson was born and raised in the tundra of the Canadian high arctic. He built a darkroom at eleven — commandeering one of the household bathrooms — so that he could print pictures of the world around him. He has been making pictures ever since. He moved to Toronto in 2004, where he snagged a job with a top commercial photographer. Since then, he has been shooting for advertising and entertainment clients, while also focusing on his own work. Recent projects include a study of independent wrestlers, a staged underground table tennis showdown, portraits of drag queens, and stylized explorations of banal daily life, where you’ll find at least one fake ham.

    Yes Men:

    In a front-page ad in today’s International Herald Tribune, the leaders
    of the European Union thank the European public for having engaged in
    months of civil disobedience leading up to the Copenhagen climate
    conference that will be held this December. “It was only thanks to your
    massive pressure over the past six months that we could so dramatically
    shift our climate-change policies…. To those who were arrested, we
    thank you.”

    There was only one catch: the paper was fake.

  • Xark!: The betrayal of the Fourth Estate:

    The tarnish on the halo newspaper execs have spent so much time polishing isn’t just their unwillingness to acknowledge their own limitations and failures. It’s how they treat their people. The betrayal of the Fourth Estate contract by newspaper management has played a huge role in their impending doom. It may be the one thing that guarantees their slide into irrelevancy.

    Why? Because when the companies need their best and brightest to pull together, to help work smarter and better, they’ve got … nothing. Many of the best and brightest have moved on because they can. Or they were the first out the door in layoffs. Those left feel trapped, bitter and betrayed. No pay raises. Furloughs. “Doing more with less.” Not exactly a prescription for an ailing industry.
