The Meme Merchants Consortium

This blog-a-fication [or blog-a-fiction] represents the combined efforts of The Meme Merchants Consortium [M^2C], a merry band of witty wights [that’s skillful elves to you and me] from the hinterlands of the fring-o-sphere dedicated to figuring out what is really going on out there by questioning and commenting on post, post-modern life in the light of nature.

History

A New Kind of Blog – a brief and trivial history of how the Meme Merchants consortium came to be.

About the Meme Merchants

Some of you might be confused by the fact that this blog appears to have two different names, The Coraline Meme and Meme Merchants.  For information as to why that is go here.  The name itself was bestowed upon us years ago in a Usenet flame-war when some disgruntled acolyte of Richard Dawkins accused us of being, “Just a bunch of meme merchants!”  It kind of stuck, and we now wear the title as a kind of badge of honor.

A Note on Copyrights

It is the official opinion of the Meme Merchants Consortium that ‘faithful reproductions’ [though arguably imperfect] of two dimensional works of art already in the public domain, are themselves uncopyrightable in the United States.  However, we believe that new works derived from them, that are sufficiently original and are not merely ‘slavish’ copies are copyrightable as new works by their authors, such as those created by Atani Studios.

We make every attempt to properly cite all works presented here, even those covered by various non-traditional or open-source licenses.  If you see a work that you believe is uncited or incorrectly cited, please contact us using our Contact Page and we will strive to remedy the problem.
