OCLC sues The Library Hotel
The Online Computer Library Center are suing the Library Hotel in New York City for copyright infrigement. OCLC, the owners of the copyright for the Dewey Decimal System, are suing the hotel for unauthorized use because the hotel, which overlooks the main branch of the New York Public Library, organizes its rooms according to Dewey and puts appropriate reading materials in each (cool!!). CNN reports.
God. I am married to a librarian, and I tell you this: when we visit New York, it is our dream to stay in that perfidous, copyright-infringing criminal institution known as the Library Hotel. The OCLC represent the interests of libraries and librarians much the same way that the RIAA represents the interests of independent music labels. Got it? There's a lot of confusing the forest with the trees here, or more properly confusing the mouthpiece with the horn.

Beware, you could be in that
Beware, you could be in that hotel when it is struck by the highly trained ninja librarians of the OCLC. This could be a fatal mistake. Unless Goody Two-Cents has also received the training, in which case you might - might - escape with your lives.
