The next time you tell a joke you heard on TV to a friend, think of this woman.
OK, I'm kidding, because these jokes were published and probably went beyond fair use, but it puts in perspective how we can't just put anything into a book. Writer and editor Judy Brown and her publishers have agreed to pay thousands of dollars in damages to several people, including Jay Leno and NBC, Rita Rudner, and Jimmy Brogan, for reprinting jokes of theirs in several books about comedy. Brown reprinted several jokes over the years in 19 different books, including The Funny Pages.
