Well, this will be interesting, Sharron Angle and her web site is being sued by the conservative, but despicable Righthaven and the LVRJ for posting LVRJ stories on her web site. Righthaven is seeking $75,000 and the forfeiture of the domain name.
From the Las Vegas Sun: "The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s copyright infringement lawsuit partner on Friday sued U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle over R-J material posted on her website, allegedly without authorization.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas by Righthaven LLC, seeks damages of $150,000 against Angle personally and forfeiture of her website domain name sharronangle.com."

Righthaven is a despicable bunch of lawyers who are using the federal courts for their business.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The LVRJ is one of the few conservative newspapers out there and they are suing one of the most conservative politicians in Nevada. Will they continue to support Angle? Will Angle try and suck up to the LVRJ?
Time will tell.

Wow, Dan. I could have posted the exact post you just wrote on my liberal site, and not have had to change a word. I won't--wouldn't want you to sue me!--but it's interesting that here is a subject that can bring bloggers of all stripes together. The RJ is going WAY overboard, and I'm still curious if they're going to go after me someday. Hope not.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've written a post about it--possibly ill-advised--with a link to your article. Sourced! Attributed! Live linked! Don't sue me, Dan!

Politics as usual it seems. Both parties have betrayed our country and our financial securities. Currently you have congress representatives of each party talking about our failing country. They, the Republicrats, are truthfully responsible and yet, mysteriously, we are calling this good and acceptable? Stand up, think and place your vote with a true voice of the people by selecting Jesse Holland for United States Senate representing Nevada and the citizens. The media has chosen your candidates for the elections, but we, the people, have suddenly accepted their choices? We talk about taking back our rights and country, but we fail to do much about it? Do the right thing and elect Jesse Holland who is easily found online! Even the polls are purchasable. If you leave out the voice of the people, you end up with a bought poll. Maybe your parents were right by saying don’t believe everything you read.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest question is why are we hiding behind only two candidates? Have the parties hidden their atrocious records that well? Why not give the truth to the citizens? There are other choices? It is all about money now, isn’t it? Sharron and Harry have it and the rest of us don’t. I am Jesse Holland and encourage the media to look beyond the promises of party candidates and replace the office, as it belongs, to the state and the citizen’s therein.
Thank you for stopping by Jesse. Jesse is running for U.S. Senate as a non-partisan candidate: http://www.hollandforsenate.com/index.html
ReplyDeleteGood luck, though you may have problems here by putting your money on UNLV tonight :)
