Thank you for the ping. It’s weird to be siding with DU on something but I hope they kick Righthaven’s ass.
Its weird to be siding with DU on something but I hope they kick Righthavens ass.Yeah, OK. Just as long as I don't have to actually go to their site.

Even the ACLU gets it right sometimes.
Think of it as supporting the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) instead. DU is just a poster child for the concerns of the community at large. To get the job done, EFF needed to represent a naughty victim with credibility in the liberal community. But the position they take is very conservative and could well be a spark of enlightenment for some ( that standing to sue can't be auctioned off to the highest bidder, that copyright has limits, etc).
However, EFF is not a conservative organization. EFF represents a liberal perspective descended from the kind of liberalism embodied in the founding of this nation. It's just not a faux liberalism filtered through a pile of stinking socialist statist agendas...
