This article seems really biased.--BLaafg (talk) 06:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

How so? It seems to be a fairly clear cut issue, of copyright infringement. Naturally, those making the claim against the "infringers" would have more to say. -- Zanimum (talk) 14:32, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why does Wikipedia have this arsey license instead of making the text completely and unreservedly free? I doubt the quote would have been used for the advert if it had to be followed by a footnote saying that the text came from Wikipedia and was written by some guy. That would distract from thrust of the advert. I suppose the idea is to prevent the advertiser from accidentally acquiring the legal ownership of the text, but in the absence of a apparent deliberate effort to do so I think we should let such infringements slide. 81.131.13.145 (talk) 19:19, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
