Canadian ISP allows parody of Ralph Lauren's unhealthy model photoshop to stay

Big-headed modelBoingBoing.net ticked off Ralph Lauren by noting that, in this model's photo, "her head is bigger than her pelvis."   Thanks to photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com for the image.

However, note the "blogspot.com" in that URL?  That's Google, who totally caved to Ralph Lauren's spurious copyright infringement claim.  Spurious, because parody is an excellent example of Fair Use.

Happily, BoingBoing is hosted by a Canadian company who is not subservient to the DCMA.

The lesson?  Host your controversial blog outside the U.S. :)

See the video of BoingBoing talking with Rachel Maddow.
