Mermaid Freed
,----[ Quote ]
| Apparently the controversy was more than the estate of Edvard Eriksen
| anticipated after asking the city of Greenville $3,800 for having a replica
| of Copenhagen's "Little Mermaid" statue in their Tower Riverside Park.
|
| "I received a letter this week from the Artists Right Society (ARS) saying
| that 'the estate of the sculptor Edvard Eriksen has decided to withdraw all
| of its claims thereto,'" said Greenville City Manager George Bosanic.

Harvard trademarking everyday phrases
,----[ Quote ]
| Harvard University's moves to seek U.S. trademarks for everyday phrases such
| as "Ask what you can do" are defensive measures, a school official says.
|
| The university has poured a lot of money into basing its promotional and
| advertising campaigns on such phrases as "Ask what you can do," which was
| famously uttered by President John F. Kennedy in his 1960 inaugural speech,
| as well as "Lessons learned" and "Managing yourself," The Boston Globe
| reported Saturday.

| redistribution, and modifying computer programs', and accused the FSF of
| having an 'open and virulent bias against copyrights' and 'blatant bias'
| against the record companies.
