NBC Pilfers Apple's Xcode Icon

· ·

MacNN reports that NBC used Apple’s Xcode icon on a webpage advertising a new show:

NBC is not the first to run into such seeming hypocrisy – having recently sent a letter to suppliers calling “theft” of its programming the greatest risk the company faces – but it illustrates the complexity of copyright issues concerning art found on the Internet.

There’s no complexity involved. There’s just plain laziness on behalf of the designer. That reflects poorly on NBC, who has long cried about stolen content. For shame.
