Guy Fawkes Mask - Irony Alert
« on: August 14, 2019, 12:05:41 PM »
You know the mask.  The one that all the anti-capitalist, amongst others, use to hide their faces.  The rights to the mask are owned by Time Warner.   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sales and corporate ownership of rights
According to Time in 2011, the protesters' adoption of the mask had led to it becoming the top-selling mask on Amazon.com, selling hundreds of thousands a year. Time Warner, one of the largest media companies in the world, owns the rights to the image and is paid a fee with the sale of each official mask.[49][50]

If I take a selfie with my GF mask on, does the image belong to Apple?

But, hey. A Catholic terrorist is probably a better mascot than Che. So that's progress, I suppose.
