Copyright is an important aspect of online life today, and not very many people understand it.
“The Internet is FREE”, they claim. “Everything on the Internet is free for the taking!”
No, not so much. Rule number one of Internet legalities: Just because someone posted it on the Internet doesn’t mean that there is no copyright or that the material is free to be shared/taken.
Fact is, the very act of writing something yourself gives you an automatic copyright to that material that YOU created. Let’s emphasize that YOU created portion again. It has to be original work from YOU for you to claim the copyright – and even then, you can only claim the copyright on the portion that YOU edited.
Even large mass-edited projects like Wikipedia have a copyright… but Wikipedia explicitly says that the individual Wikipedia editors can’t claim copyright on the text that is contributed directly to Wikipedia articles — just adding the text to Wikipedia grants Wikipedia a licence to make that text available for public use. (Content that is already copyrighted outside of Wikipedia and still contributed by the original author falls under a different set of copyright guidelines — be sure to read that WP article for all the copyright details that may pertain to you.)

How long can you hold it?
No, we’re not talking about how long can you go without peeing (although we have seen that there can be issues, such as the infamous Hold Your Wee for a Wii contest that resulted in a competitor’s death).

It’s that most wonderful time of the year, where CBS (and Fox, it seems this year) roll out their perennial ratings grabbers, the Charlie Brown specials.
But, thanks to some fancy editing, we bet you’ve never seen Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and the gang like this:

The Best of Saturday Night Live
Last season’s season finale proved that Justin Timberlake is the ultimate Saturday Night Live host.
Practically every skit he’s ever in has been a slamdunk. He can sing, he can act, he has absolutely no qualms about doing any thing for a laugh — all qualities for the most successful SNL hosts.
He’s won Emmy awards for his song-writing skills on the show too.

If you’re one of the millions of people watching AMERICA’S GOT TALENT (and let’s face it, you don’t get to be the number one TV program by not having millions of people watching), then you’ll know that AGT is a little lame compared to it’s older sibling BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT.
BGT has given us Susan Boyle, among other talented artists. Overall, BGT is just more… fun… than what we get here in the States.
So here’s a little video fun from a former BGT contestant BRETT DOMINO. Sometimes he performs as a duo, sometimes as a trio. The important thing is that he owns a keytar and isn’t afraid to use it.
Let’s take a look:

Buy the Sexy Princess Leia Slave Costume
This week at Comic-Con 2011, news organizations are likely to focus – at one time or another – on the cosplay phenomenon…. especially with what the ladies wear.
Women are using ComicCon as an opportunity to wear their “Sexy Halloween Costumes” more than once a year, especially if their costume of choice involves any type of sexy television character, sexy cartoon character, sexy literary character, sexy sci-fi character, or any other appropriate costume that can have “sexy” put in front of it.

Saturday (A Parody of Rebecca Black’s “Friday”) – Single
It’s Friday, Friday – Gotta get down it’s Friday!
Here are some FRIDAY mashups you may not have heard yet. And while you’re listening to this songs, why not pop over to BENNI CINKLE’s website “THAT GIRL IN PINK” and say “hi”. Be nice to her – she’s written a book on cyber-bullying that all parents should know about.
Who’s Benni Cinkle? She’s the girl dressed in pink in Rebecca Black’s FRIDAY video. Yeah, the one who’s dancing. Gotta give her credit for making something out of what was probably just a “hey, this sounds like fun thing to do”. Good for her.
Crappy Friday
Have you ever wondered what TV’s popular sitcoms would be like if they didn’t have a laugh track?
That’s right – they’d be just like real life. In other words, not nearly as funny without the laugh track accompaniment telling us when it’s appropriate to laugh at others.
Let’s take a look at some TV scenes that have the laugh track removed and you’ll see what we mean:
