    Copyright, the Web and SEO

    I am constantly amazed at how many people seem to think that in the digital space it is okay to cut and paste other people’s work.

    It wouldn’t be right to let the holidays pass without our annual tradition of a little bit of green, and since this year’s holiday activity was a little more slanted to relaxation, I thought we’d share a little music video our pals Mark Leiren-Young and Kevin Crofton of Local Anxiety made to ring in the…

This year’s shoot was even…
