And on the topic of Joy Division… I laughed at the tl;dr section.
If I can put on my teacher hat for a moment, this is also a great example of how to use Wikipedia as a starting point for research, instead of the final destination.
Maria also linked yesterday to Disney’s appropriation of this image (a mashup that makes absolutely no sense), and I couldn’t stop thinking about it at the gym this morning, so this explanation gave me a small bit of peace, or at least something to chew on.
If I didn’t have to go to law school and probably turn into a jerk to do it, I’d be an IP lawyer.
