   Is this Tech Dirt or Hollywood dirt?
   
   I'm missing the tech in this artical. Shouldn't this be on E or some entertainment news site where I fortunatly would never see or hear of it?

   IP is so embedded in the tech field that I don't mind hearing about related cases that might show the current attitudes of the courts toward such things.

   Yea, but if it was a parody of Coca cola, or paris hilton, I think they would have found otherwise. Me, you and Carol Burnett got no rights!

    South Park did an entire episode on Paris Hilton in which her Dog kills its self and she inserts a pineapple into one of her two fun holes.

    Parody and technology go hand in hand, especially if you've ever used Microsoft Windows.

    Just because all IT is IP doesn't mean that all IP is IT.
    
    This might be in here is because lots of geeks like FG. All of the Trek references in FG attest to that.

    For wasting the court system's time, Carol Burnett should have to mop floors at Fox for a week.

    Hollywood? Isn't Family Guy a television show? And isn't television a type of technology?

    As said above this seems way off topic for this site, but if Family Guy made fun of me I would be extremely HONORED.

    Guys, lighten up. There's no reason to get your knickers in a twist just because Mike occasionally writes about issues that are not directly related to technology.

    Seriously. He writes about patents, you bitch. He writes about copyright, you bitch. He writes about gambling embargos, you bitch. He writes about... well, whatever, you bitch.
    

    I don't think it's Mike. I think a lot of you just like to bitch.

    Every time Mike writes about something that isn't directly tech-related, al-Qaeda kills a puppy.
