Ads, folks and the long arm of the law:
Free Press News : The new ad age looks at struggles in court of media to make damn sure we watch those pesky ads.
Always interesting - as with the file sharing lawsuits of last year - when m'learned friends extend their icy tentacles into the biz. I still nurse a pet theory that the music industry went south, not when "Home taping is killing music" (remember that idea?) was being shouted, nor the more recent Napster and Kazaa dramas, but when the lawyers took over the running of things starting, more or less, in the 70's ... it was suddenly about copyright protection over getting great work to the market.
Endgame? Your call.
