CMU drama students to stage 'London Cuckolds'
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Take a bedroom farce written in 1681 and have it updated by a contemporary farce master.
The result is 'London Cuckolds,' a raunchy, witty and ribald comedy about three husbands who each think they know how to keep their wives from straying. Three lusty rogues are out to prove them wrong, and not without help from the wives."

Can You Re-Copyright Photos In The Public Domain?
Techdirt: "Davis Freeberg wrote in to tell us about how a small publishing company, Summertown Sun, had issued takedown notices for public domain photographs that were put on Flickr. What appears to have happened is that a user, by the name of 'Dazzlecat,' posted some photos to Flickr that she believed were public domain photographs (vintage photographs from over a century ago). However, Summertown Sun sent a takedown claiming copyright ownership of those photos. That seems odd, since public domain is... public domain. Either way, Yahoo/Flickr obeyed the takedown notice and then also took down a followup altered image and blog post that trashed Summertown for the takedown, saying that it violated Flickr's terms of service. Yahoo is, of course, free to do what it wants -- and has the right to takedown whatever it feels violates its terms of service, but what's more interesting is the question of whether or not the images are in the public domain, and whether or not Summertown's takedown was actually legal."
