The Null Device

What happens when corporations own culture: The anti-globalisation protesters have adopted a John Farnham song as their anthem. However, this song is owned by BMG, a huge multinational recording company. The Big Mean German is now now threatening to sue the protesters for "breach of copyright". They're on shaky ground, as S11 is only linking to a copy of the song held elsewhere, but they'd have enough lawyers to give the dreadlocked lefties a good spanking either way. John Farnham could not be reached to comment. (via Virulent Memes)
