Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising

Can you imagine their outrage if we'd used an Argentinian war memorial in a similar manner? Hypocrites digging themselves a nice deep hole.

Hmm, somewhat embarrassing:

Young & Rubicam, owned by UK company WPP, said: "We strongly condemn this work and have asked the Argentine government to pull the spot."

If it is a British owned company, then I would have thought that they could order the Argentine branch to pull the advert.

I doubt the company would hold the copyright over an ad commissioned by a second party.

It all depends on how much control the advertising agency in Argentina have over the advert.

In the UK the agency that created the work would have copyright by default. The customer would have copyright only if the contract specified it. The work was not created in the UK though, so it would depend on copyright law in Argentina.

To be honest, rule of law seems to be a secondary concern so far as Kirchner is concerned, and I imagine she would insist on continuing to run the commercial even if the copyright was in the hands of the agency that made it.

In other news, the athlete who featured in the original ad is almost certain to miss the games having failed to get selected for a pre-Olympic tournament.

This will be a landslide, it's just meant to be posturing towards the Argentinian government (obviously).

It really also does strengthen the UK argument in the United Nations in that they've let the inhabitants decide their own future. It's hard for the Argies to then say that the Falkland Islands should be theirs

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising

Now HMG is obviously 'committed' to the notion of referenda, perhaps we could have one on membership of the EU?... :D

I hope that is the last post about an EU referendum because it's really off topic. ;)
