Disregarding the doctrine of fair use, Comedy Central has announced that it is ready to sue bloggers and web sites that used unauthorized clips from its shows, arguing that "if (websites) are making money on our copyrighted content, then that is a problem."
Inasmuch as Jon Stewart often uses clips from other broadcasts to make his comedic points, and doubtless makes scads of money from commercials aimed at his own viewers, it appears that Comedy Central is of the view that Stewart himself (and his network) are ripe for litigation.
Update: Comedy Central says: never mind!
i'm looking for a copy of a radio skit done maybe 20 years ago (late
70's 80's) that is about the greatest hockey goalie (fictional
character)that ever lived. His name was The Gamper. The skit is all
about how he saves every shot with the announcer yelling"shot/save,
shot/save, shot/save, thru the whole routine
then God fires a few at him and wastes him. I wanted it for my son
who is a hockey goalie. They kepp shooting more and more pucks at him
and even his
own tean starts shooting at him. This was heard on WTRU radio in Muskegon, MI
