I think we can be reassured that Brits wont be rising in violent evolution: some of them still get the bunting out for "Royal Celebrations"...
as for the rest:



"It is actually copyrighted material, and to post the whole article is not fair use. "

Hmmm...well I'm as "guilty" of that as the next man but as this site is dedicated to "media criticism" I otherwise I think it unfair to decontextualise selected passages from an entire article so I generally give the whole piece. I also give a live link to its source so in effect I reckon I'm disseminating the article rather than plagiarising it, which is what the "fair use" idea was originally meant to prevent.

I have no excuse for using Doug Savages chicken cartoon above mind, aside from the fact that it might similarly popularise his work. I have noticed that both my and my partners work have been plagiarised by others: often corporates just lift what they like because they have money and lawyers. I did once find a piece of my own writing with a copyright stamp on it...better not copy that right?
