I was scanning various websites the other day and ran across something that just struck me funny from a copyright lawyer that had done some work for Penthouse magazine and its’ sister publications:
As an attorney for the Penthouse magazine empire in the mid 1990s, I launched a war against cyberspace dwellers who, without authorization, used photographic images of the Penthouse Pets and models on their web pages. There were literally thousands of web sites posting Penthouse-copyrighted images scanned from Penthouse magazine and its numerous sister publications.
Finding Penthouse-owned pictures required some hands-on investigative work.
Uh – okay, Counselor, thanks for the big picture. Bonus props for use of the words “empire” and “war.”
The rest of the page is otherwise helpful and informative, but it’s difficult to read without breaking out into Beavis and Butthead-like “urr-hurr-hurrrrhs” of mirth.
