AT&T Protest Graphic for your blog, website, whatever

AT&T is stumbling through the Internet age with a stunning lack of foresight: in support of their TV offering, and to make friends with Hollywood, they’ve agreed to work towards actively scanning all AT&T network traffic for copywritten material.

I’m not going to go into the details. CenterNetworks, Uneasy Silence, Dave Winer, Techcrunch, Ars Technica, AllThingsDigital, and others have covered it exhaustively already.

I will, however, contribute a protest button/graphic/badge. Right-click & Save As, and deploy on your blog/website/tshirt/etc as you see fit. Link it back to whatever post, petition, goatse picture, or whatever you choose. Please don’t hotlink. Its a friendly png of 14kb in size, with a popular pop-culture reference to make it extra topical.

UPDATE: I took it down until I can figure out if the AT&T corporate logo can be used for critical purposes under the “fair use” clause without first seeking permission. I am a legal chicken-shit, yes.

UPDATE 2: What do you say - would it be covered under nominative use?

UPDATE 3: Removed literal trademark elements while retaining visual cues and tagline syntax. Should be legal, IMHO.
