Go Sean Go

2006_3_9love.jpgTorontoist wants to give a hearty slap on the back to Sean Lerner, our transit contributor, originator of the TTC Rider Efficiency Guide and defender of the right of TTC riders everywhere to anagram station names. Lerner sent an open letter to TTC chair Howard Moscoe over the commission's cease and desist letter to blogger Johnny Martz, the creator of the ttc anagram map that this blog and others have written about.

To quote Sean:


The people of Toronto pay for the TTC at the fare box, through taxes, and through being a captive target market for advertising on the system. We believe it is our moral right (and possibly our legal right under fair dealing laws) to be able to create art such as the anagram map.

Thanks to Spacing Wire for letting us know.

If you say 'Spacing' in the mirror three times, Joe Clark will appear and be a dick.

Alright, what does this post have to do with JC? Stop the blatant JC baiting.

i don't know if this is the case in canadian copyright law, but in the states you can use copyrighted material for parody?
