If you’ll excuse the blatant self-promotion, we’d like to let you know that you can support FreeCulture.org by buying one of our snazzy new t-shirts for only $20 shipped in the US and Canada, or $27 internationally. The front prominently features our logo and name across the chest, while the design on the back reminds us that, as Isaac Newton said, “If I have seen farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

Bought two of your snazzy shirts hope they get here by next week I am heading to the beach.
Apt as the newton quote may be, this is worth reading before printing a t-shirt based on it, I think.
thanks anonymous for posting a link to the alternate interpretation of newton’s quote. it is, of course, only speculation that newton’s remark was a back-handed slap at robert hooke, but it is worthwhile to consider the possibility.
if we may suggest an alternative, more accurate slogan from the internet age for the creative commons t-shirt: “all your creative content are belong to us.”
if it is trademarked (short slogans cannot be copyrighted) then using it would be all the more appropriate.
all your creative content are belong to us
LOL.
