A Little Google Copyright Irony
The other day we driving and the Google Street View cam car passed going the other way and I thought to myself…”I wish I had my camera! It would be great fun to follow the Googmobile around a take pictures”. You know…to see if the Goog people get irritated and stuff. But. I didn’t have my camera.
When I got home, I looked up the address here on the old street view. I guess maybe I was thinking that the folks at Goog have some hyper-speed up-link and they are posting these things in real time. They aren’t.
Anyway, here’s a screen shot of the front of the apartment here that’s kind of interesting in light of the news that Google is getting a Quarter Million copyright take down requests a week…
…right under the window on the left there is a copyright watermark of some sort. It’s hard too see, faint. Here’s a zoom…
Apparently, and no doubt other folks have pointed this out but it’s news to me….so, Apparently Google is copyrighting images of your house!
So, next time I see the Googlodytes out roaming around acquiring intellectual property, I will track them and get some copyright photos of my own. You should too.

The post to blame: Most Peculiar Mama (Don't Eat Your Cat)
We at MooPig Enterprises get only about 5 thousand Copyright Take down requests per hour … but so far we have been able to keep the peace… you know we learn to slide with the state of the art.
We are surrounded by craziness, and it looks like it is bound to get much crazier. Factors contributing to craziness: Neil Young, Droughts, micro climates and climate changes, rising water, *[electronic watermarks]* , micro transmitter radiation, meth, …
All leading to ‘Giggles and Shits’ disease.. a syndrome that lauds the anti-medical, anti-law, anti-credence, anti-demographic, and all the anti’s you can think of …. *[like Rush Limbaugh]* anti-logic, shock jocks starting with JFK of course.
We will no longer be rifled by underbelly psycho lunatics … we will be in control!!!! HUNH? Scoobie Doo that one pardner.
You should have egged the blasted googla camera van. It was probably a contractor anyway. Oh, what’s the use?
I thought about you guys last night because I was really, really enjoying a cannolo (or in the Sicilian language cannolu). I never knew Cannoli was the plural (until I wiki’d http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannoli) but, I only had one. I could founder on those things. I remember you telling me once that, in Foggia between Marinell and her sisters, it was like the Cannoli Olympics…..
