Jonathan Coulton has decided to respond to Glee's plagiarism of his "Baby Got Back" parody by raising money for charity. If you can, contribute a buck by buying this (fun!) song. It's already outselling the Glee version, and the better it does the stronger our message that artists deserve credit for their work. Here's JoCo's post with purchase links:

Here's a nice up-to-date article that summarizes the situation: http://www.forbes.com/sites/michelecatalano/2013/01/27/jonathan-coulton-vs-glee-its-about-the-ethics/

[Again, I suspect many folks here already know about this, but I want to record it here if nothing else.]
