This is supposed to be a Golden Age in Boston, but not for the theater business

Appeals Court: No You Can't Copyright Yoga
Techdirt: We first wrote about this issue more than a decade ago, but there's been a ridiculous attempt by some yoga instructors to use intellectual property to lock up certain yoga poses. While most of the focus has been on copyright, other attempts have used other forms of intellectual property as well.

OregonLive.com: Oregon Ballet Theatre's latest marketing campaign features a bare-chested, on-pointe ballet dancer sharing the stage with a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon in full efface derriere.
The sales pitch: "Come watch ballet. We'll give you a beer."
Too obvious?
