Commonists, Not Communists, Bill

"When Bill Gates referred to copyright reformers as modern-day communists in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show, it didn’t take long for the web community to respond with a big ‘nyah-nyah-nyah.’

"Bloggers and designers were quick to dream up ‘creative communist’ symbols, a play on one of the best-known groups working for copyright reform, Creative Commons.

"The images were instantly passed around and added to websites, T-shirts and buttons."
