[fc-uk-discuss] Google and Miro vs. copyright idiots

[Tom Chance]

Ahoy,

This is funny, I loved the logo, Miro is one of my favourite artists :)

Here's a daft quote:
"It's not up to Google or anyone other than authors, the rightful owners of 
these copyrights, to decide whether and how their works will be copied."

Because having world's most popular web site promote his work with a nice 
little tribute will have Miro turning in his grave! Honest!

I wonder what Google meant when it said it "did not believe its logo was a 
copyright violation". Something to do with US fair use?

Regards,
Tom
