The Tabberone™ Archives
These articles concern what we consider major trademark and copyright issues. They are usually reproduced with the original source referenced. Bear in mind, these articles are copyrighted and commercial use without permission of the authors may be considered infringement. The intended use here is educational, commentary and non-commercial. The reason they are reproduced in the Tabberone™ Archives, as opposed to just providing a link, is because links disappear and pages are removed. That presents a messy confirmation process that is annoying to the browser (you) but also presents a credibility issue. We do not claim any rights in these pieces. Do not regard the absence of a copyright statement or © to mean the article is not copyrighted. Some sites do not have a copyright statement.
When an article or a comment is posted on the internet by the copyright owner, the owner is seeking a world-wide, 24/7 audience; sometimes for a limited amount of time, sometimes indefinitely. In essence, an internet posting intentionally relinquishes one's copyright for exclusivity because the owner has posted it on the internet to been seen by everyone, everywhere. The Tabberone™ Archives non-commercial duplication of the posting is simply a continuance of the original wishes of the copyright owner. We post these articles for reference, for commentary and for confirmarion of our position.

This is the Enemy:

The Enemy is not a purple dinosaur. The Enemy drains the life forces from the unwary, leaving behind lifeless husks. The Enemy is concerned with selling itself. It has turned PBS into a Merchandise Mart, and cleverly insinuated its cheesy products into the most treacly web sites (note the lower right-hand corner of this one ).

It is known by many names. Some call it Satan. Some call it The Antichrist, although the site which promulgates this truth is mysteriously shrinking, and many of the links devoted to fighting the Enemy are mysteriously no longer valid. Candid pictures of the Enemy, without its familiar disguise, can be found here. (The image at the bottom of this page was taken from there.)

Many are participating in this noble struggle. The best source of background information is here. The Jihad To Destroy Barney has some useful things, but is principally a role-playing game: the kitschification of a noble cause, perhaps indicative of Enemy activity. For a morale-boosting exercise, go here. Many tasty tips for preparing the Enemy can be found in the Barney Cookbook, here. Sound and movie files and a couple of excellent pictures can be found here.

The way home lies through the Enemy
The Enemy is dangerous!
Do not take it lightly!
The Enemy as Bill Gates
