I was gonna link to the gallery o' casino carpeting that !!swanhunter sent me the other day. But the site got boing boinged into the ground today. So during the meanwhilst, here's some interesting stuff (also from la boing) about copyright/trademark and kid's party cakes. Sarah, for obvious reasons, knows way more about this stuff than I do and I think she often gets the same kinda response that showed up on boing boing. It's probably true of many things but people seem very attached and militant about things they think they know (but which aren't actually true). Anyway, now that I'm thinking about it, I realize that I've actually participated in some cake related infringement. It was a few years ago when Sarah and I went to... somewhere... Costco maybe (?) and got a copy of the Ayn Rand postage stamp decorated onto a cake for our friend Ray. So I guess everyone who ate that cake owes the USPS or Rand's estate or both a coupla cents or something...
