i am sparticus: Life's so much better in the sun

Life's so much better in the sun

<<< Previous Entry: Lack of Coffee | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Lots of exciting news from >>

Today in The Sun (national tabloid rag), between Geri Halliwell (page 6) and Catherine Zeta-Jones (page 9) resides an article on blogs. And quoted is me.

"Most bloggers are not celebrities or politicians but ordinary people like Mark Walley, 19 From South Yorkshire. On his site at www.iamsparticus.co.uk he says 'it is a relaxing way of getting of my head whatever is in it. It's very theraputic.'

So I'm in the Sun. Me. In the Sun. Oh yes. That's even better than the time e-boy (of the deceased everfelt.com) was in the news of the world.
I think they must have found out about my site through why blog? (seems to be down), Paulo's thesis site about weblogs. I think that's where the quote is from, it seems more likely them finding about my website that way anyway.
Still, the important issue is whether or not Paulo copyrighted his website, or Creative Common'ed it in a certain way. Because if he did, it's LAWSUITS A PLENTY! Quote me without my permission! MURDOCH MUST PAY!
