Righthaven is friends with Obama, they are going to try and take this down before 2012.
They are baking a cake.
Even if DrudgeReport has to change domains, it’s still just a simple html page that can be moved easily. No biggie.
Righthaven has picked on the wrong site; Drudge will counter-sue them into oblivion & bankruptcy.
702-477-3830 Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Lawyer. Ask for their Policy on Linking in Writing. Don’t get Sued for Linking.
They going for the domain because they know Drudge can easily afford the standard $75K extortion fee they been charging bloggers.
They want to get the domain so they can resell it to the Democrats or reroute all the traffic to a news site that gives the regimes message.
You know, this is how it all starts.
Look at other countries, the regime takes down offending news sources one by one until only the approved news is left.
This is the work of the Democrats.
Frightening times.

You don’t have a clue.
Me thinks you’re on the wrong fourum.
Just take a close look at the Christmas porkulus bill they've agreed to...What an incredible example of strength-of-backbone!
I see they are grasping at straws. The left thinks they have a new system set up to shut down or damage Drudge like sites. Apparently their model is flawed because the article cites all the losses they have had doing this. Now they are teaming up with another group to do the same thing? This has embarrassing failure written all over it. Screw you Righthaven.
I’m generally not big on boycotts, but I think the time has come to take action.
“Copyright protection” is being used as the key to open the door to limiting freedom of expression on the internet. Groups like Righthaven have crossed the line.
The DrudgeReport is worthless without Drudge. He will simply start a new site and continue.
FYI Ping!
So this is why the FCC wants authority to shut down websites.
Part of the plan to silence the opposition.
Remember you cretin, January 3rd is coming!
Pubbies remember, you were empowered to fix this problem, not dance around it.
IT IS TIME to DownSize DC!!!
Drudge posted a single picture from their paper. So they want to take one of the most known domains on the net. Seems proporionate to me. /sarc
This guys is a step below a lawyer that follows ambulances to the hospital.
Nah, just history repeating itself. The same losers will lose again.
Since Drudge only links to news stories, shouldn't search engines fall under the same copyright infringements?
I mean, using their logic.
They are NOT in and of themselves a news story ~ they are property, and if a picture of them is to be used commercially (as in a copyright infringement case) the photographer better have obtained a release (or permit) from the OWNER to sell his story ~ or even give it away (this will be the case even for animals in a publicly owned animal reserve).
The current copyright holder, RightHaven, best also have a copy of that release. Without the release it can't be their property or copyright.
My first defense here would be to tell RightHaven "show me your release". And then sue the blazes out of them, their heirs and assigns, for all sorts of stuff that even they can't afford to defend. Sue Stevens too.
It’s past time for us to use similar tactics and to hit Huffington Post (it’s their Drudge) as well as Salon, Gawker, MSNBC, Vanity Fair and the rest with everything we’ve got. No more bringing rubber knives to a gunfight.
