Duplicating Paris
Choire Sicha's recent Paris piece in the NY Times (They'll Always Have Paris) ends up in the Chi Trib. Is it syndication or infringement?
In case you didn't know Choire is the editor of Gawker and seems to me a very legal minded individual. In a recent Paris piece on Gawker (Paris Hilton: The Spawning), Choire relays to us that "Hilton Furniture owner Jack Hilton, quite a celebrity with his energetic cheap local-only Houston commercials, introduced his baby daughter on a commercial today" and hopes that Paris bothered to trademark and copyright her own name.
