  • Copyright around the Pantone system is historically a pretty murky area. According to Pantone themselves,

    “published materials of Pantone, are protected by copyright laws and include, for example, graphic presentations, color references, Pantone Colors, Pantone Names, numbers, formulas, and software”. (Clause 4, Pantone EULA)

    Aaron Perzanowski researches intellectual and personal property law at the University of Michigan Law School. He says that Pantone has no underlying intellectual property rights when it comes to either individual colors, or the color libraries of which they are a part. “There’s no copyright protection available for individual colors, and the limited trademark rights for specific colors don’t apply here either,” Perzanowski says.

    Practically, a US District Court has ruled that, while Pantone cannot copyright a color, they can copyright the “Pantone Color System” that specifically exists to provide print-accurate colors.

    This was at the first one. The last one they had was 2018, before the fire performance group that was putting it on split up and went their separate ways. Some of them still do events like the Jerry Jam, but they bill themselves as “fire performers and strippers” now. Not really my scene anymore.











  • On 7 October 2014 in Zuhres, 53-year-old Ukrainian Ihor Kozhoma, who was trying to take his wife out of the occupied territory, was tied to a column and tortured for several hours by Russians and local separatists.

    Did he deserve to be tortured and killed?

    Donetsk civilian resident Iryna Dovhan was publicly tortured for her pro-Ukrainian position in August 2014.

    Did she deserve to be tortured?

    A member of Human Rights Watch witnessed the exhumation of a mass grave in Sloviansk that was uncovered after insurgents retreated from the city.

    Did those people deserve to be murdered and flung in a ditch?
