Another update on RightHaven lawsuits:
“5 more websites sued over R-J story copyrights”

“Is this ethical. Sounds like something the mob would come up with.”
Stinks bad when one considers the hypothetical possibility for an unscrupulous media outlet to arrange to have copyrighted articles posted on websites for the sole purpose of future lawsuits.
I just cancelled my subscription to the Las Vegas Review Journal in protest to their lawsuit. I hope all other subscribers will cancel also.
I have tried to explain it a number of times to a number of Freepers over a number of years.
