Maybe. I know it's an issue for Martha Graham dances, because who had the rights was a big deal after her death. And I think it's an issue for Balanchine, too.
Bunnies frighten me.

Yup. Dances can be protected by copyright. If you're going to dance either Balanchine or Graham, you have to get permission.
So there's really no excuse for the dance troupe, except that (I infer) they're amateurs.

Possibly, because they are dancers, they are clueless about rights and such. Some really small companies think that they'll avoid detection, and are so small that it won't be worth it to go after them, so they don't bother.

No such animal. I think Fox has employees whose job is to sift through LiveJournal posts so they can send cease and desist orders to people using screencaps from their shows as icons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone on scans_daily on LJ is collecting images for an essay on subtle BDSM imagery. I like the sensuality of what they have so far. Pretty stuff.

Can anyone explain "One Year Later" to me? I was reading an interview with Gail Simone that mentioned it in connection with BoP, but I couldn't quite tell what it was all about. Thanks!

The current Infinite Crisis is going to leap ahead a year.
Then they are going to have a one-year mini-series called 52 or 52 weeks that tells the story about what happens in the missing year.
I think.

I just received the Serenity RPG as a birthday present this week. It looks fun. Though having instructions and background material all written in 26th century cornpone dialect with occasional incomprehensible Chinese swearing isn't nearly as endearing if you're not hearing skilled actors say it.
