Copyright infringement in NYC

If you haven't heard of the Naked Cowboy, you must have been residing in a cave over the last decade (or lucky enough to avoid the more lowbrow news items used as filler by the networks).
Well, now there is a Naked Cowgirl and the Cowboy isn't amused.
Robert Burck (the Cowboy's real name) has sent a cease and desist order to Sandy Kane (the Naked Cowgirl) claiming that her act's name is too similar to his and that she must pay a franchise fee if she wishes to continue.
After viewing Ms. Kane's photo, I think she owes him and anyone else that saw her in this outfit a sincere apology.

Kane claims that she owes Burck nothing.

Poor Adolph is Kicked Off You Tube

If you haven't seen one of the many Hitler parodies based on a rant from an actor (Bruno Ganz) during a scene where Hitler is in his bunker in the film Der Untergang (2004), then you have been living in a cave with no internet access.
A copyright infringement complaint has been made to You Tube on behalf of Constantin Films (who own the rights to the film) and the parodies have either disappeared or been blocked per content ID restrictions.
According the the article, there is no legal standing for a copyright complaint.
I agree.


It did not take long for the internet to answer the stupidity.
