I'm sure many of you already saw this, but it might be the single most 
ridiculous IP related news item I've ever seen:

Christmas is known world-wide as a time for sharing, a time for giving. 
But for one charity, instead of Santa arriving with gifts, the copyright 
police turned up demanding money. Why? Because the charity allows 
children to sing carols on the premises and their kitchen radio is a 
little loud. You couldn’t make it up.
