EFF suing on JibJab's behalf for "This
Land is Your Land" parody
08/02/2004 03:02 AMEFF has taken things one step further with JibJab and their endangered
political parody of This Land is Your Land (Woody Guthrie's copyright
holder has threatened to sue them for their work).
We're bringing the fight to Guthrie's rightsholders, and suing on
JibJab's behalf, "to defend JibJab's fair use and free speech rights."
Check out Donna's excellent and heavily linked post for more.

EFF defending creators of This Land is
Your Land parody
07/29/2004 06:53 AMI'm proud to relate that EFF is representing Jib Jab, the creators of
the wonderful "This Land is Your Land"
Flash parody that aroused
the ire of the holder of Woody Guthrie's copyrights and resulted in a
threatened
lawuit. Here's a little bit of my cow-orker Fred von Lohmann's
letter to the copyright-holder's lawyers.
In your July 23 letter, you contend that "This Land" offers no
"satirical comment" on the Guthrie original. You are mistaken.
While your view of Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" as being
predominantly about "the beauty of the American landscape" and "the
disenfranchisement of the underclass" is interesting, most Americans
think of the song as an iconic expression of the ideal of national
unity. Jib Jab's parody addresses, among other things, the lack of
national unity that characterizes our current political climate
(ending with the optimistic hope that unity might be rediscovered). In
short, "This Land" explores exactly the same themes as the Guthrie
original, using the parodic device of contrast and juxtaposition to
comment on the original. See Abilene Music v. Sony Music
Entertainment, 320 F .Supp.2d 84, 90-91 (S.D.N.Y. 2003) (emphasizing
the role of contrast and juxtaposition as parodic devices). The
parodic comment takes on an additional dimension of irony when viewed
in light of the often omitted closing stanzas of Guthrie's original.

Giants kick butt
Giants kick butt
07/31/2004 10:30 PMNormally I don’t post about baseball here, which is odd,
considering what a huge fan of the game I am. But I had to mention
this. The Card’s Matt Morris shut the Giants out last time he
pitched against them, but after giving up 8 runs in the first inning
tonight he’s already been replaced. From a shutout to only going
2/3 of an inning.
Ouch.
The Giants have shown an inability to hold onto a lead the last few
weeks, so we’ll see if the 8-0 lead does them a bit of good,
especially with Rueter on the mound.

#2 and eponymous fan site, Young
Marble Giants' music has been described as "haunting,"
"enchanting," "dark and strange". It is unusual in
that it relies on precise, sparse textures to create tension. Few rock
bands have expressed a sense of disquiet with such elegance. Long live

Cirque de Sore
Legs may have won the people's choice award, but the competition
[including a giant poodle, a bird's nest, and Kafka
mid-metamorphosis] wasn't half bad. Baltimore's annual Kinetic
Sculpture Race, an unholy amalgam of engineering and art, occurred
last week. Created by
Hobart Brown in 1969, kinetic sculpture
races require participants to build human-powered vehicles that can
traverse a racecourse over land and sea, not to mention mud and sand.
And they have to do it in style. Don't live near the Chesapeake?
Then visit similar races in
Arcata,
Boulder,
Ventura,
Corvallis, and even
Perth,
Australia. Too tame for you? Perhaps you'd like to try a
flugtag or the
Providence or
Bognor birdman competitions.

This Land Is Your Land
This Land Is Your Land
11/12/2003 01:30 PM Vanished America If you've ever wondered what to do with all of
your old vacation photos and slides, wonder no more. A fellow named
Charles Cushman bequeathed his collection of over 14,000 slides and
photos taken over a period of three decades, from 1938 to 1969, to
Indiana Univiersity. IU has decided to create
an amazing
digital archive of his photos as a history project.
The photos are nothing special in themselves. He took countless
pictures of things he and his wife saw as they took driving tours
across the United States, mostly near their home in Chicago and in the
West. They are no different than and no better than anybody else's
amateur photos. But, as the director of the project points out,
without realizing it, Cushman captured an America already beginning to
disappear in the middle of the 20th century, and did so by documenting
its disappearance unwittingly over a thirty-year period. I lightly
perused the
slide show of 120 images and the photos are indeed both
banal and compelling all at the same time. A very nicely done site
with a lot of rich material.
