Lowe Australia caught plagarising quantum mechanics lecture, donates money to kids science

Two months ago, Scott Aaronson discovered that an Australian Ricoh advert from Lowe had taken it's dialog straight from his quantum mechanics lecture.

Ricoh Printers - Smart Models - (2007) :30 (Australia)

Now Scott and Lowe have reached a settlement, to make good for their boo-boo, Lowe Australia are now donating $2,000 of the settlement to BrisScience and $3,000 to the Physics Demo Troupe. Why BrisScience? Because nerds are really funny people, and Scott liked the name:

I immediately asked her to repeat the name.
“BrisScience,” she said.
“Spell it?” I asked.
“B-r-i-s-Science. Why, is there something funny about the name?”
“No, no, it shouldn’t be a big deal in Australia.”
