MPAA Violates Another Software License

Gosh, the MPAA violating somebody's "intellectual property" rights! Imagine that!

Patrick Robib, a blogger who wrote his own blogging engine called Forest Blog recently noticed that none other than the MPAA was using his work, and had completely violated his linkware license by removing all links back to the Forest Blog site, not crediting him in any way. The MPAA blog was using the Forest Blog software, but had completely stripped off his name, and links back to his site. He only found about it accidentally when he happened to visit the MPAA site.

I wonder if he was watching "Lost"? Or if, perhaps, it was last years Grammy's that did him in?

Police called to a Long Island man's house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead for more than a year, sitting in front of a blaring television set.
