The glutinous tentacles of the Octobee worm their way ever deeper into the soft belly of the internets.

@Schmod, #51:

At the risk of repeating what's probably already been said, the issue isn't so much the actual stealing of the image (someone stole a picture of a dog off the internets, big wow), but the fact that it was stolen by a corporation that basically want to chop your hands off if you so much as think about creating an image that even vaguely resembles one of their properties.

Although, it's an interesting point someone made earlier about the double standards at work here. Somebody creates a "mash-up" (oh, how I hate that phrase) of some protected corporate-output material and it's a valiant maneuver in the Great Copyfight. Corporate material created based on an individual's work is the insidious work of The Man. I'm not trying to defend any side of the argument, but it does kind of show how broken and ridiculous the whole debate is...
