Mr. Cobb. A vampire?….Well that explains why he doesn’t age. And if Edward Cullen (aka Robert Pat tin son of the Twilight series) says so, it must be true. Mike, a three-sport varsity captain, and Neve, who does it all—they can’t be human. So Pattinson and Peter Berg ’80 decide it’s time to shut Taft down.

No one thought Head master Willy Mac Mullen could top last year’s Head master Holiday announcement. But director/producer Peter Berg came through yet again, filming a video message with Pattinson in a Baton Rouge cemetery.

Berg recapped his theme of unfairness from last year reminding students that he didn’t have what they have at Taft now. “You guys are continuing to dominate, “ he says to the camera, “and I’m going to deal with it.”

The tradition of a Headmaster Holiday goes back more than a century, to the election of William Howard Taft, whose son was then a student. Knowing Taft’s son would want to attend the inauguration, Horace Taft declared the first Headmaster Holiday–allowing both Horace and his nephew to attend the ceremony.

“I love this tradition,” said Mac Mullen. “Every student and teacher needed a break from our labors, but the seniors needed it the most, and it is a really great class. Needless to say, when the film was shown, it was deafening! Peter Berg has directed another blockbuster hit! I thought we were going to have to call in the medics–several of the girls looked as if they were about to have a heart attack!”

Of course the stakes have been raised now. “To top this year’s video, I have a few requirements for the announce­ment of the headmaster’s holiday for my senior year,” middler Cassie Will son emailed the head master shortly after. “I’m going to need Paul McCartney in person in Bingham, and he will announce the day off and then pull me on stage to per form an impromptu concert for the school. You can make that happen, right?”

The Volunteer Council took advantage of the opportunity to remind students of the Red Cross blood drive today, with the posting “Edward Cullen wants your blood!”

2010 is shaping up to be the hairiest year since, well, we don’t know when our streets were ever this beardy. What’s with all the fuzz? Look around. How many beards have you seen today? Chances are, even as you read this, someone within your immediate sightline is sporting some serious scruff. You can’t walk a block in this town without passing a beard — whether it’s Sir Three-day Fuzz taking your order at Starbucks or Mr. Brawny Towels himself pushing a stroller through Leslieville. You could come to the conclusion that beards are more popular than ever. You’d be right.

Think back, if you can, to early 2010, the beginning of our year of the beard. Zach Galifianakis was still enjoying his recent status as a household name. Brad Pitt was channelling his inner pirate in the pages of US Weekly. George Clooney and Jon Hamm started the year off with a pair of dapper dad beards, while Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Pattinson were looking like lumberjacks in training. But the most famously fuzzy face of 2010 arrived the day Conan O’Brien was pushed out of The Tonight Show. He did what every newly unemployed man does in such a situation: he stopped shaving. Then he did something brilliant: he opened a second Twitter account, called Coco’s Beard, where thousands of fans of the comedian’s soft ginger scruff received beardly bon mots like “If @ConanOBrien let me date, I’d date Sarah Silverman’s mustache.”

Season premieres of “Friday Night Lights” feel a bit like the first day of school.

There’s a basketball-playing newbie in Hastings Ruckle, a sharp young lad who has some tough words about those who play the sport that makes the world of “Friday Night Lights” go round.

They’re all a bunch of “toolbags,” says Ruckle. Played by Grey Damon, who comes off as a cross between Robert Pattinson and “Friday Night Lights” mainstay Taylor Kitsch, Ruckle is the intelligent outsider, the one who declares that football “celebrates the worst insincts of American culture.”

Have you ever wondered how sellers on Ebay, Etsy,CafePress, etc legally get away with selling their own fan-created Twilight goods? Personally, I have especially when I’ve posted items on here that I’ve found on Etsy or Ebay (examples here & here)

Etsy’s marketplace [isn't] free from the concerns of copyright and trademark lawyers. That’s the job of Sarah Feingold, Etsy’s in-house lawyer, who authors a column on the company blog in which she explains the ins and outs of intellectual property.

“What Etsy’s take is, we try to educate a little. I’d feel bad if people were taking these risks without even realizing it,” Feingold told CNET in an interview. “That’s why we try to put up the educational resources, but at the same time, I can’t really step into the shoes of an intellectual-property holder or their attorney, and determine what is or is not fair use, what is risk of confusion, and what is amazing fan art done by someone who loves the brand–and is free advertising.”

And those brands’ opinions, of course, vary. “A very popular brand contacted me once about a couple of items. I called because I had a question,” Feingold related to CNET, “and the attorney said, ‘Listen, I know there’s a ton of fan art on your site, and for the most part, my client loves it. However, if the licenser complains, then we’re going to ask you to take it down, and if it’s pornographic, we’ll ask you to take it down.’”

One of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world, for example, is almost completely absent from Etsy: the Twilight teen-vampire book and movie series. There are items that describe themselves as “Twilight inspired,” but posts in Web forums by Etsy sellers who have had Twilight-related items removed from the e-commerce site indicate that Summit Entertainment, the movie studio that owns the trademark to the Twilight franchise, has been policing Etsy for more obvious infringements.

For legal reasons, Etsy’s Feingold declined to comment on these reports or on which specific brands’ trademark holders have called up the company with takedown notices, and Summit representatives did not respond to a request for comment. But considering Summit’s history of filing suit against unofficial Twilight media, it’s not surprising.

“I think if lawyers and if intellectual-property holders start to have more of an open mind, and start to see this as beneficial to their brand, there could be even more art out there,” Feingold said. “It’s a shame when I have to do these takedowns, when it’s clear that the fan art was made with a lot of love.”

CafePress entered into an agreement with Summit to allow fans to produce fan items from the Twilight Saga. There are tens of thousands of items from water bottles to tee shirts. There are some limits, like no images from the movie, and no fangs, but you can quote the movie, and use character names.

So what exactly can you or can’t you do? Some things are obvious. You can’t take things like the Little Brown cover art, the movie stylized writing, movie stills, photos taken by professional photographers and use them without previous permission and in all likelihood payment for using them. Those are all unquestionably trademarked items. They are infact a violation of the Etsy Terms of Service. You just can’t take those and not expect to be slapped with a takedown when the intellectual property owner finds out.

On the other hand creating a fingerless gloves similar to the ones Alice wore in New Moon and calling them “Twilight Inspired” (vs actually saying “these are Alice’s gloves”) is probably fine. Creating a bookmark that says, “A Perfect Rainy Day in Forks” or “Volterra, Where Tourists Come In, But They Don’t Come Out.” are both probably sufficiently vague.

So what about making a pendant that quotes the spider monkey line and has Team Edward on it. What about making locket and inscribing it with “Renesmee”? …Welcome to the gray area, and THAT’s what is causing a lot of the trouble!

What also leads to trouble is that when a complaint is lodged about one item, at times an entire shop will be suspended rather than just the one item in question which results in a loss of revenue for the shop owner until the matter is cleared up. Cafepress, for example, doesn’t remove entire shops, just the item(s) in question.

So as of now, it looks like CafePress is the safest place for Twilight fan creations. Etsy, is going to be a proverbial crapshoot.
