Is it Evil? Yes, Sir VERY Evil!!!

Vanity Fair has reported on the Google Author Settlement with a column bluntly entitled "Is the Google Author Book Settlement Evil?"

I'm reminded of the silly yet twisted Dr. Seuss cinematic classic from the fifties -- "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T" where a young boy subverts Dr. T's attempts to marry his mother and enslave his piano playing pupils with a concoction that distorts sound. When the kid threatens to blow Dr. T to smithereens with the contraption, the Doc implores "Is it ATOMIC?!!!," and Bart replies "Yes sir, VERY Atomic!!!"

So, is the Google Author Settlement Evil?! Yes, sir VERY Evil!!!



For Bart, it is just a dream . . . unfortunately for us the Google Author Settlement is much too real.
