This shouldn't have happened. Good to see ACS responding, but seriously, Jake, ACS is one of the most advanced, savvy nonprofits out there. This shouldn’t have happened.

I've talked to some other folks at the ACS and it's clear to me that it was not intentional. No harm done, no hard feelings. Yes, thanks for the quick response David.

Neff and I work over at the American Cancer Society. I would like to apologize to Lee and let you all know we will be taking the video down for some re-tooling. (Is that a word?) We went in today and changed the CC as well as giving credit to Lee and his peeps over at Common Craft, but have still chosen to take it off the site for now. I also emailed Lee this weekend about this very subject. Hopefully you will check out the site more (SharingHope.TV) and see what other uses for Video we are doing, when it comes to helping people with cancer. <br><br>Thanks,<br>David Hey All,

While I fully appreciate the need for organizations and individuals to respect copyrights, I think that the ACS’s video is a creative and effective parody of the Common Craft social network video. Sure, it is copying the style and subject of the CC video but the “critical difference” that helps define it as parody is the application of ACS specific content (thank you very much, wikipedia). But, by concentrating on the legal mumbo jumbo I think we’re missing more pertinent discussions: Was this an effective way to get employees spread across multiple states and countless field offices to join their internal network? Did they put more value in explaining how social networks function rather than making it super relevant to their daily jobs? Are there better strategies for engaging multiple age groups to the community? So if pleases the court, I’d like to rest my case and drown my sorrows over my busted NCAA bracket.
