Free Speech For Dummies

On calacanis.dom, there is an entry, "Dealing with Dummies, For Dummies", detailing how the "For Dummies" franchise (owned by Wiley Publishing) threatened a blogger for using "For Dummies" in the title of one of his entries. Apparently they are searching blogs constantly to find infractions !

I am looking forward to their legal threats so I can post them on this blog. Hmmm...
