Across the country, the lower courts are all over the field on what constitutes copyright infringement. The USSC needs to step in - again - and define the playing field.

That’s you in Case #2, isn’t it?

TITLE 17 > CHAPTER 1 > § 107
§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
You have to make your own opinion, clearly these lawsuits have various defendants and I do not know the situation for each of them. I know what happened on FR and see this as a frivolous waste of court resources.
To: DaveLoneRanger
I’ve begun contacting advertisers of the LVRJ and taking note of what ones to avoid in the future.

“......Stephens Media, owned by Las Vegas Review-Journal president Sherman Frederick. Righthaven is run by intellectual property attorney Steven Gibson,......”
Wouldn’t it be interesting to know the political affiliation of both Sherman Frederick, and Steven Gibson, as such intimidation of members of the New Media warrants such suspicion in my book.

Oh, I know the law for Fair Use, I would just argue that FR postings would most likely fall into that category of copyright exemption.
Course the only people who would benefit from such would be the lawyers.

What about a class action suit against the paper? Even if the Journal pays a law firm on retainer, it won’t count for class action. It will cost the Journal at least several hundred grand to defend against it. Time for Alinsky redux.

“So after they troll the internet and find a “violation” they file a suit and then shakedown the website for whatever it can get.”
and in times of low revenue they can remove the uncertainty and simply post the “offending” article themselves, then come in the next day and file the lawsuit.

And who wants to read a rag that cannot be discussed? Obviously they did not pre-consult with their marketing division. Nowhere does it say they can't be discussed. You just can't post their whole article--that's their product and they expect to be compensated for its use.

To: Thunder90
A blantant example of Democratic Underground using a Las Vegas Review article: Uh, no.
DU did it the right way, an excerpt and link.
The articles in question for this lawsuit were copied in entirety and posted at the sites, meaning the LVRJ would get no return on its product that it had incurred expenses to create. Remember, we're in Post-LATvFR days.
Say you spent money to create something, say a fun-house, and recouped your costs by charging admission. Would it be okay for someone to open up a side door and let people in for free, without you getting any revenue? Ignoring the real property/trespass issues, there's still a problem from the economic and intellectual property standpoint.
The problem here is that FR didn't post those articles, yet they are the subject of the filing. In that case, a takedown notice is required.
(Plus, nobody on FR knew that LVJR was verboten as they had not filed a notice with FR. They weren't on excerpt-only list. But might they say that doesn't matter..?)
Disclaimer: IANAL, so this is all just my own personal understanding.
