Got this information from Madsen (Little Gamers), and pretty much is related with the current comic. :D

Most of the information is in spanish but I will try to post information about it in english as soon as I do translate some parts.

Here's a brief report by Cory Doctorow from boing boing

Spanish copyright society hounds Uni teacher out of job
I just got an email from my friend Jorge Cortell, a copyfighter and academic in Spain, whom I met at the Creative Commons España launch this year.

Jorge teaches "Intellectual Property" in the Masters program at the Polytechnic University of Valencia UPV. He proposed to give a talk on the benefits of P2P and talk about the law relating to P2P and copyright in Spain. He proposed to demo what sort of legal uses one could make of copyrighted works from P2P networks, and informed the Spanish collecting society, the national police and the attorney general to let them know what he was up to.

They responded by leaning on the Dean, who cancelled Jorge's venue. Jorge booked another venue, and the Dean cancelled it. So Jorge moved his talk to the cafeteria, and delivered a five hour session to a packed house.

On May 4, the Dean ordered the director of Jorge's program to demand his resignation, which he tendered. The Vice-Dean then added insult to injury by issuing a statement saying that Jorge had never taught at the university (!), in a surreal, Stalinist purge (Jorge has taught at the University for five years).

This is a shameful act of censorship and a betrayal of the principles of academic freedom. It's a national shame that Spain's powerful collecting societies can simply order the termination of any university teacher who teaches things that displease them.

Well.. i always want to do something like this, but i just never find the right one. And even if this comic is ready and wrapped, believe me, it did take more sweat and effort that may other comics I've done :P

Friday will be the ihooky no. 75. I did see the bunch of comics in retrospective and it was just.... just too much, I've seen 5 months worth of comics. Comics that I did 3 months ago and it looks like ages ago. Shesh... my time perspection is prety much short spaned and very loose :D

Things in my side are running pretty smooth, but still there's many rocks in the road ahead. But that's the fun part. Yay! :D

Ah yeah, if anyone wants the poster without hooky on the front, feel free to email me at vlad [that weird symbol] ihooky.com and i will send you the poster in the format of your preference (PNG, JPG, GIF, PDF, etc).

BTW. Good luck to the guys that are starting Blank Label Comics. Independecy day! keke

Take care, eat your greens, brush your teeth and love your significant others.

Peace in the world
