    Calendar Cease and Desist? 

     

    I was recently out shopping for a calendar for my girlfriend’s 5 year old son, and we came across this hilarious and, I assume, totally unenforceable “copyright” statement on the back of the Transformers calendar we ended up purchasing.

     

    As it turns out these were all over many of the calendars. I laughed because I have often chopped up calendars I like after the years end, and used the images for decoration. I’ve done this ever since I was little, and recall decorating my teenage pad with the remains of an Alan Lee Lord of the Rings calendar.

    Is this really a prohibition of removing and hanging up calendar pages or am I missing something?

    LOC has a Blog 

    I want to point out that the Library of Congress has a Blog and it seems to be pretty good reading.  I recommend it to anyone that like libraries and maps and things.  Unfortunately the Nicolas Cage vehicle that is ‘National Treasure 2′ is the top entry at the moment, since the LOC has a role. But it’s ok, check out some of the older entries, I know it’s definitely going in my RSS reader.
