Let’s talk about The North Face defacing Wikipedia

Yesterday, we were disappointed to learn that The North Face, an outdoor recreation product company, and Leo Burnett Tailor Made, an ad agency retained by The North Face, unethically manipulated Wikipedia. They have risked your trust in our mission for a short-lived marketing stunt.
In a video about the campaign, Leo Burnett and The North Face boasted that they “did what no one has done before … we switched the Wikipedia photos for ours” and “[paid] absolutely nothing just by collaborating with Wikipedia.”

Vamos falar sobre The North Face estragando a Wikipédia

Ontem, ficamos desapontados ao saber que The North Face, uma empresa de produtos para recreação ao ar livre, e a Leo Burnett Tailor Made, uma agência de publicidade contratada pela The North Face, manipularam de forma não ética a Wikipédia.

Num vídeo sobre a campanha, Leo Burnett e The North Face se gabaram de que “fizeram o que ninguém fez antes… trocamos as fotos da Wikipédia pelas nossas”, “pagando absolutamente nada, apenas colaborando com a Wikipédia”.

fought in court, and returned to the FCC with minor (and sometimes major)
revisions. In the last few years there have also been numerous attempts to pass
legislation, cementing net neutrality once and for all, but nothing has
succeeded in Congress.

“Modernism and its Discontents“

Gibt es, jenseits von kreolischen Variationen und postkolonialen Umarbeitungen des Modernismus, alternative Formen, modern zu sein – beispielsweise in den Romanen von Jean Rhys oder den Gedichten von Derek Walcott? Kann der Begriff “Modernismus” von seiner zeitlichen und eurozentrischen Verortung entbunden werden, um anti-koloniale Formen des Widerstands, von Brüchen und literarischer Innovation zu beschreiben, die Familienähnlichkeiten aufweisen?

Der berühmt berüchtigte Taschengeldparagraph

In der großen Pause einen Kakao, auf dem Heimweg Weingummi vom Kiosk – das gehört schon fast zum festen Bestandteil eines jeden Schultags. Aber wie sieht das denn eigentlich rechtlich aus?
