Correction: This episode incorrectly says that H&R Block owns the copyright for GIFs and that CompuServe, which H&R Block purchased in 1980, had owned the patent for the GIF. In fact, CompuServe invented the GIF, but another company, Unisys, owned the patent on the underlying technology, which expired in 2003.
