New Gear By Techdirt: OK, Landlord
from the well-deserved-eyeroll dept
Get your OK, Landlord gear
from our store on Threadless »
Yesterday, we wrote about law professor Brian Frye’s deployment of the phrase “ok, landlord” and its success in riling up copyright holders who, usually, are insistent that copyrighted content should be treated just like property. We liked the idea so much that we figured it ought to be on a t-shirt — and so now it is, among other things!
OK, Landlord t-shirts, hoodies, buttons, notebooks, and many other pieces of gear are now available on Threadless, where you can also find our Copying Is Not Theft gear. All profits support Techdirt, and irritate copyright maximalists!

Seems a bit *too* inside
That is, OK Landlord, by itself, really doesn’t imply (C) or Patented or TM or any other form of IP. Stick a (C) on there! lol
Re: Seems a bit *too* inside
Use the (C) as the emoji with eyeroll added
Re: Re: Seems a bit *too* inside
Yeah, a rotated emoji with "C" as the mouth would be much better. As is, this is just gonna make your actual landlord think you’re mocking them or planning a rent strike.
Re: Re: Re: Seems a bit *too* inside
We tried a variety of designs that included the circle c. None of them "worked" very well — certainly not as good as the final design (in our opinion, of course). But you are, of course, free to come up with your own.
Re: Re: Re:2 Seems a bit *too* inside
I’m just chiming in. Since context is important, the context needs to be on the shirt somewhere.
Most widespread discussion of rent and landlords right now is based on Covid related rent strikes or holidays. I would hate for a reference to an extremely insightful Techdirt article to get lost in that particular shuffle.
