Oh for crap’s sake. Cranky typeface behemoth Agfa Monotype has got it’s intellectual property knickers in a twist and is attempting to use the asinine legal crutch known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in order to prevent Tom Murphy from distributing his TrueType embedding tool. A tool, I might add, that he created for use on his own fonts and that was released prior to both the enactment of DMCA and the merger of Agfa and the Monotype Corporation in the first place. For pure enjoyment factor, the scary lawyer letters that he has documented are a pure laugh riot. Of course, there’s even more vociferous blandishment regarding the stupidity of it all over at slashdot. Via Line & Splines
