division of the Teamsters union has signaled it's not going to be railroaded into paying the legal fees of Las Vegas online copyright enforcement company Righthaven LLC.

The Cleveland-based Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, part of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters' railroad unit, was sued for copyright infringement Oct. 12 in federal court in Las Vegas by Righthaven.

Railroad them.

Choo choo them to bits.

Any word on Jim’s case with these jerks?

[rockinqsranch]

I understand it’s settled, paid in full. Movin’ on.

[bwc2221]

For once I hope the union wins.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why move on when the FR truck can be backed over those loons again.

[rockinqsranch]

NOT my truck.

Good night to all, and Happy Thanksgiving.

[piytar]

Thanks. Hope Jim Rob didn’t pay much. Sigh.

IIRC, that was why the last FReepathon was asking a higher than usual target. It was to cover the settlement, which, so I understand, was at the ‘going rate’ for these ex post facto “infringement” suits.
