Comments on: CBC + iCopyright = Bullshit http://www.millsworks.net/blog/2010/01/31/cbc-icopyright-bullshit/ I fucked up my blog - now it looks like this. Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:41:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Robbo http://www.millsworks.net/blog/2010/01/31/cbc-icopyright-bullshit/comment-page-1/#comment-43644 Robbo Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:39:33 +0000 http://www.millsworks.net/blog/?p=878#comment-43644 Dang - yer fast! Thank you - and yes - I'll be sure to post the logo to the Facebook group. The Torontoist article - http://torontoist.com/2010/01/for_canadian_news_sites_licensing_is_all_about_the_kings.php - is good because it makes the whole thing seem less smelly. That doesn't make the deal with a U.S. company any better. The financial constraints of the CBC do need to be addressed on so many levels. Having worked there in the past I am admittedly rather jaded about the abilities and motives of the upper management dickheads. It shouldn't have taken much research to determine how useless - and inappropriate - the iCopyright deal would be. It will be interesting to see what the response, if any, tof the CBC will be to the Facebook group and other commentaries - excluding my snarlingly profane rant, of course. Thanks again. Cheers. Dang – yer fast!

There's a link on my blog to it. May I suggest that you donate that wonderful Copyright CBC logo that you have up top to the facebook groups. It's perfect! Best, Cameron Hey,
