Hey lawbloggers!  I have a favour to ask!  I remember seeing a video or blog recently (read the last 6 months) that discussed a new book about increased protection for public domain works.

Basically, it advocated that companies should face fines or sanctions if they take public domain works, slap a copyright notice on them and claim ownership forcing people (and often teachers) to pay for every copy when they could legally make their own copies from a single purchased copy.

Sounds awesome, right? The problem is, I don’t remember the title or author of the book, and I can’t find the article/video that discussed it.

Heard of it? PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I NEED TO FIND THIS BOOK!

I feel like MLP had some interesting statutory interpretation issues about what, exactly, is meant by the term “friendship is magic”.

Prima facie, this is a statement that true friendship doesn’t exist in our world and all we have is a farcical imitation using slight of hand and misdirection.  Unless we are to assume…

…I’ll stop now.
