Ick. There's something very clever, very cynical and really rather deep-down disturbing about this sort of manipulation. The memetic war over intellectual property continues to brew...

Clarify, please. Disturbing on the part of Scouts of America or on Mr. Jenkins' part?

As a slasher myself, I tend to be a listtle faster and looser with the concept of intellectual property, myself. I figure, as long as no one is making any money of of an original idea (i.e. writing fan fiction), no harm, no foul.

But I am always open to other opinions. What's yours?
