"Phonebooks"; Pearls Before Swine, GoComics, 9/28/16

Stephan Pastis, Pearls Before Swine, Go Comic; "Phone Books" :

[Kip Currier: Yesterday in my IP and "Open" Movements course, I was talking about the landmark U.S. Supreme Court copyright case, Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service Co. (involving discussion of whether the White Pages and Yellow Pages phone books were "original" works subject to copyright protection), and checked with my students to make sure everyone knew what a "phone book" was. They did. Timely seeing this "Pearls Before Swine" comic strip today.]
