I've seen this photo many places, but it's kind of nice to see Rachel Maddow pick it up.

I like the examples of similar manipulations.

I presume they photoshopped to make that model look 'sexier'? She looks hideous!

I've been following this *quality story for a week now. Nice to see Maddow and Jardin discussing it with such good humour.

I like that Maddow gives a lot of respect to the blogosphere, this, FireDogLake and many others.

I'm glad that Hamilton gave proper credit to Photoshop Disasters.

It's in Wikipedia now:

In September 2009, the Photoshop Disasters blog posted an advertisement from Polo Ralph Lauren that contained a heavily manipulated image of a female model. The post was subsequently reprinted by BoingBoing[21]. Ralph Lauren issued DMCA takedown notices to BoingBoing's ISP and Blogspot, which hosts Photoshop Disasters, claiming their use of the image infringed copyright. Blogspot complied, but BoingBoing's ISP consulted with BoingBoing and agreed that the image was fair use. As a result, BoingBoing issued a mocking rebuttal[22], using the same image again and posting the takedown notice. The rebuttal was widely reported, including on frequently viewed websites such as The Huffington Post[23] and ABC News.[24]

"DMCA" should really be in the tags since that's what's important about this story. Maybe take out the extra "xeni" if you need room.

To correct Maddow, her phrasing that "ISPs usually cave" to DMCA notices is not really accurate. The ISPs are legally required to takedown. You can immediately contest it and the ISP is supposed to put the offending material back up.
