Librarians are Hiding Something

Connie, that means you.

Colbert Report interview with John Perry Barlow, Electronic Frontier Foundation, 3/26/07

Update: 3-27 12:45pm

Perhaps librarians aren't the only ones. I keep getting Google search results:
"Your search - "librarians are hiding something" - did not match any documents."
Except at 10:38 this morning. Hmm...

Update 3-29-07:

I guess my references are too obscure. Here's what I was talking about.
On Monday night Stephen Colbert interviewed John Perry Barlow, who is suing Viacom (who owns Comedy Central, who "owns" Stephen Colbert) because they forced his client to take a video clip of Colbert off YouTube. The discussion was about intellectual property rights, and Colbert claimed that if he said something new and claimed to trademark it, other people couldn't use it. His example was, "Librarians are Hiding Something." He said that and then said it was his trademark. Of course, it was immediately all over the web, including my blog.
