BDA Fair Practices Guidelines

Good guidelines. I had always assumes that these were some sort of unwritten code for designers and clients. Apparently there are some who need reminding.

I haven’t posted much about copyright lately. But something came up on scottandrew.com recently that I have to share. So here’s the Corey Doctorow quote (Remember him? He wrote that Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom book? Yes? Good.), ripped off and presented here as an enticement to read the whole post on scottandrew.com:

“What we’re seeing is a slow-motion burning of the Library of Alexandria, all over again.”

Will we have a new proverb soon? “Those whose creative history is hidden safely away under copyright are damned to recreate it ad nauseum.” It’s still a little kludgey. I’ll have to work on it.

This Saturday, the Susquehanna Art Museum will be hosting a reception for their new shows, Transforming the Commonplace: Masters of Contemporary Realism and Michael Graves, from 3 to 5pm.

The show comes highly recommended by Matt, who is quickly becoming my source for artistic happenings in central Pennsylvania. (I suppose that makes sense — he is a part of that scene.) Thanks, man.

Shameless plug: A few of the images from Matt’s show at Doshi are available in Centurion #1 which is available for just the price of an envelope and some postage.

Excerpted from a recent SFGate article by Mark Morford:

Which naturally might raise the question, What, then, is actually protecting America’s freedom? What forces are guaranteeing free speech? Protecting your civil liberties?

It’s you. It’s millions of independent, resistant voices, in chat rooms and e-mail boxes and magazines and on Web sites all over the nation and the world.

It’s your voice. Use it.
