Justin - a global asswipe? And the art of copyright and gossipblogging



One of my favourite gossipblog was shout down for some hours. But now he is in the cyber air again, Perez Hilton.

His blog was closed because of a dispute about copyright.

He is quite fun, because he uses Photos from everywhere, and dont care of paying for them: he uses the Photos and writes something from himself on them: and maintains it makes the pictures his creation.

Imagine: if I use Photos from for example DN or SvD or Aftonbladet and draw something on them: it would not help. Their photographers sure would insist upon getting money from me for the right to use the Photos.

I think Perez is not so crazy. Internet changes the world and the options for communication. I think we have to consider that and change the rules.

By the way: one of his latest gossip is from Sweden and is about Justin Timberlake who is alleged to had a real bad behaviour against his supporters:
This article paints the international pop star to be a global asswipe!
According to the report (in Swedish), Justin seems to be under some emotional duress. Timberlake threw things of the roof of a hotel in Sweden down on to the fans. They wanted to take pictures of him but he said no. Then they called him a fuckface and reportedly he said: “You’re calling me a fuckface? Go fuck yourself!”

About the dispute about copyright: Plagiarism reports more:
In a blow to besieged gossip blogger Perez Hilton, his site was taken down Thursday by his host due to repeated copyright infringement claims.

Hilton, who is already involved in four different lawsuits with eight different agencies, including the case with the X17 photo agency, was able to get his site back up in limited capacity. As of this writing, new posts are going up but there is no ability to leave comments and no archives.
