Righthaven is sure making a lot of friends these days.

If the courts don’t stop this they will be buried by these suits. Other lawyers will pile on. ....Anything for a buck.
Being a member of the ruling Marxist junta of Soros/Obama/Pelosi/Reid can make even the most scurrilious and disingenuous accusation seem legit with the MSM in your pocket.
This is the only way the dinosaur media can stay in business. File lawsuits. Pretty great business model....< / s >
Interesting that they also seek to have her forfeit her campaign domain name.
Is this a typical request for copyright infringement charges? Seems like they’d just request that the content be pulled off or some financial compensation.
But to also request that her campaign domain name be forfeited, in the middle of a very hotly contested race seems a bit suspicious.
just wondering, how did the lawsuit against google turned out. I remember a while ago, some media companies tried to sue google for google news section, because google news basically cut/paste excerpts with link to source. In fact, freerepublic is pretty much guilty of the same thing
Maybe the true purpose of the Righthaven lawsuits has now come to light - especially since the liberal Las Vegas Sun’s editor couldn’t quite bring himself to criticize the R/J for employing Righthaven to engage in what seems like cut-and-dried First Amendment violations. It would be interesting to take a closer look at the lawsuit targets. I’ll bet there are a dearth of liberal blogs among them.
Well, Angle did apparently have entire articles posted at her web site.
Without prior approval, I don’t know why anybody would ever think they have the right to just grab copyrighted articles and post them to their own personal web site.
I understand why content providers like YouTube and FreeRepublic can’t be expected to police individual posters ahead of time, but that doesn’t cover people posting things to their own web site.
Heck, I even ask permission before I post my own opinion columns in full anywhere (and at the moment, I don’t have permission to do so, although we are still working on it). So I EXCERPT my own words, since they were bought by someone else.
