A group of wild and crazy guys -- Eric Rescorla, Stefan Savage, Hovav Schacham and Terence Spies -- spotted a legal notice in a paper towel dispenser at UC Santa Barbara.
It said:
"This dispenser is subject to restrictions on sale, modification, filling and use, and may be used only to dispense the trademark-bearing products identified on its exterior. Georgia-Pacific Corporation strictly prohibits unauthorized sale, modification, filling or use of this dispenser, and will enforce its rights under United States and foreign laws."
For their CRYPTO rump session, they created a hilarious Lessig-esque presentation centered around DRM (dryness rights management).
You'll get a chuckle out of their slides here:
