More email blunders and a Creative License

In the spirit of recent emails which have been sent in error to me, I include the following email which I received from Sky City Cinemas. It appears they have an important announcement. Unfortunately, the email is devoid of any content other then a standard signature. See the screenshot taken below:

In other news, I have been doing some investigation into the creative commons licensing system. I have now publicised in this blog my authorisation for others to make copies of my work, subject to the restrictions of the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 New Zealand License.

Two Mistakes for TubeMogul

I received 60 copies of my weekly TubeMogul report today, followed closely by the following apology email:

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Tubemogul email bug
Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2007 11:14:37 -0800
From: John Hughes
To: 'John Hughes'
CC: REMOVED

You probably noticed that we filled your email box this morning with copies of your weekly report. Please accept our most humble apologies for that. Rest assured that the issue as been corrected and you can continue your weekly subscription with no danger of us hitting you with more than one copy at a time. One of our engineers is getting coal in their stocking this year!

Warmest wishes,

John did not hide the recipients list (I have removed it here), so a large number of email addresses were publically displayed to the masses.
