Jeeze, next thing you know they will try and copyright the Constitution or the Miranda righs !

I fixed the OP's link, try again.

Can't sue someone who has fuck all anyway

those filthy swine!

Can they sue oversea posters? :<

Critics and defense attorneys call the lawsuits frivolous and in some cases are fighting back, hitting Stephens Media and Righthaven with counterclaims charging abuse of the court system and the copyright law.

Most of the lawsuits are settled, apparently for under five figures, and Righthaven observers are waiting for Nevada federal judges handling the contested cases to issue rulings on several motions for dismissal.

So far, the only definitive ruling is one that went against Righthaven when a judge found a Las Vegas real estate agent was protected by the fair use doctrine in posting part of a Review-Journal story on his website.

At least the lawyers are happy.

It's times like these I wish I was a lawyer. I'd figure out all kinds of ways to just try to pointlessly drain their resources.

They really are evil though maybe we should make it a goal of GLP along with other allies and bring the fuckers down once and for all. I mean in an entirely legal sense.

Maybe they want my debt?

Thats funny. I was so worried about my posts and getting kicked off for fucking up. Now I have to worry about being sued. Thats why I stick to humor most of the time. I really can say if ya don't like it, sue me!

I've heard buying debt can be quite profitable.

What a bunch of scumbags

If I took a screen shot of an article and posted instead of copying the text would that be considered copyright infringement?

Wow, add dead fucking lawyers to my prediction for 2011.

Thanks.

not if you have your background showing with the window open

:>

i'd say posting ewe tube vids, which let's face it, all of us have done, is technically an infringement of copyright laws.

Even PUTTING those vids on Ewe tube is an offence, technically.

now, where does this bollocks all stop? is EVERYONE going to be prosecuted?

with dead lawyers, as a poster above says, or is common sense gonna break out, and is someone gonna draw up a SENSIBLE set of guidelines for people, and webmasters, and not hit totally innocent people with lawsuits 5, 10 years down the line with massive fines they have no hope of paying, for an 'offence' which is a steaming pile of bullshit?

the 'lawmakers' need to look at this issue, and STOP all pending prosecutions, before things get totally out of hand.

What other companies/products beside newspaper does Righthaven operative ?
We need to find out , and start boycotting them all

Proxy to a proxy's proxy...

Get behind me brother!

Those cocksuckers are fucking scum. I hope they all die.

is linking considered to be copyright infringement?

Be very afraid of what you say, very afraid...

This is another example of what happens when the drive for economic profit is valued over all other human, and or natural rights.Does anyone need more proof that the ''free market'' is not the source of freedom,nor makes freedom possible ?

Paraphrasing, lots of paraphrasing.

You forgot to add " by natural means of course."
