Here’s something I didn’t know – all those “I Was Amazed!” quotes you get on posters advertising films or shows or whatever that are attributed to reviewers and critics should – apparently – be paid for. I had no idea – and according to the Guardian piece that spelled it out to me, clearly neither do lots of other writers either.

I suppose it’s not that peculiar, it’s intellectual copyright and all that, but I’m surprised to learn of it all the same, plus there’s something funny in content creators whining about their copyrights getting pinched and downloaded when they’ve clearly been doing the same thing to journalists for bloody years. Still, since no-one is ever going to put up their posters with my quotes on it – “Guff!”, “Lethargic!”, or “Spacker!” probably won’t get bums on seats, after all – it’s probably not something I’ll ever need to worry about that deeply.
