Thanks to Mike/Matt who originally helped us get our Oatmeal on.
The website "Funny Junk" - which stole, re-hosted and monetized The Oatmeal - is now extorting The Oatmeal's creator for $20,000 under threat of a federal lawsuit. Story here. That's some straight, shameless, irony-free hubris!
Although our Bastardus Emeritus and British barrister could probably explain the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and other relevant legal minutiae to us in excruciating detail... the best thing by far is The Oatmeal's response. Enjoy.

The funny thing is he raised the money in less than an hour.
That's the best thing I've heard all day.
Can you explain irony-free? I can't begin to get my head around it.
That is excellent!
= outstanding hypocrisy. "Irony-free" describes the space in one's brain that allows one to complain bitterly about something while not realizing [the irony] that one is guilty of it oneself.
Good example: Captain Renault from Casablanca.
