It's official. Copyright infringement is the new black. Even printed magazines aren't even trying to be legal anymore. PDN online reports on a new lad-mag who's disclaimer reads:
"DENNIS PUBLISHING LIMITED is not responsible for obtaining any copyright permission from the owners of the materials or clearing the usage of the materials appearing on this website and shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising howsoever from its use."
The mag is filled with "user submitted content" which basically means everything is swiped off the internet. Readers of PDN have suggested alternative disclaimers, this being my favorite:
So, since Monkey magazine doesn't give a monkey about copyright, lets scan the whole damn mag and put it online for free, supported by our own adsense-program and make some cash off them, shall we?
DENNIS PUBLISHING LIMITED is not responsible for paying hard-working creative folks for the time and talents they put into creating the materials or images appearing on this website and we also club baby seals.
