Reply To: JoCo in the Media
Twitter and various blogs are abuzz with the news that Glee has ripped off JoCo’s setting of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” without so much as attribution. What’s more, it looks as if they used the Karaoke backing track from his Web site, or the similar track from his USB drive! Here’s the video that caused the frenzy (link may be broken if YouTube does the right thing and takes it down):

The good news is that even geeks who were taken in by Google’s corporate astroturf campaign against SOPA, the anti-piracy law, seem to recognize this as an infringement. And it’s generating a lot of media coverage for JoCo, which is never a bad thing.
