Another example of the content mafia totally losing perspective. Instead 
of just emailing the webmasters and requesting any links to 
pirated/illegal material to be removed from their site, they have to 
assert their "control" over the "content". Sledgehammer to crack a 
walnut yet again. The fact that Bryan Adams *chose* to put himself in 
the public domain would mean that certain uses of his name and image are 
quite legitimate. This draconianism makes me wanna puke.
