Wasn't much to mungle up. If you remember, the judge threw us out on summary judgment. She didn't even allow us to present a defense. This is basically a first amendment issue and it will probably be decided in the Supreme Court. If the court agrees with the founders regarding the people's right to freedom of speech, then FR will prevail. If the court sides with the those who are trying to maintain corporate control over public opinion, then we lose. Win or lose, I'm in it for the long-haul.

Jim, best of luck with that, and I admire you for going through it all the way. Litigation is never fun.

BTW, I happened to notice tonight -- this thread here that you've started was rather prominently featured on the Dem site www.buzzflash.com

I can't recall the exact headline they wrote on their site, but I was surprised to see it right there in the center of that particular page.

LATWP doesn't seem to have a problem with liberal websites posting "hundreds of full articles" AFTER mmmorron's ruling.

Their web geeks must have lost the ability to track direct links to their respective sites. An amazing feat, considering that 99.999% of the rest of the Net industry has improved and refined its ability to track such traffic in the interregnum. ;-)

Above is the buzzflash headline, in case you were curious. It's now in their 3rd column.

I think the long haul is about over. If you should lose, what are your plans? How will you pay the million dollar judgment? Will you start another website?
