They should be taken to court.

I have read over a good chunk of the responses on this thread and haven't seen any detailed recognition of the effort, cost, sacrifice and tribulation you endured during the Clinton Administration in fighting the lengthy and long Washington Post et. al. challenge to the "Fair Use" provisions of the copy-wrong laws and constitutional issues involved.

I think it is important to recognize and specifically thank you for the earlier battle you waged over many years in support of internet sunshine on the complicity of media in government and ideological corruption and to express recognition that it would be stupid for you to become the test case again with the cost involved for a small venture like FR and due to the case history built up from the prior battle.

The blood and guts you spent is acknowledged and we hope others show in a new campaign at least half the energey and effort you provided in the earlier struggle.

We have a sewage treatment plant. It was named after a famous local. It was not derogatory in any way. It was a massive, creative engineering achievement.

Anyone here have the cash to take this to court. I truly believe this violates the “fair use” doctrine....

But will take DEEP pockets to fight this.

So how does this play into the fact that many other MSM articles are actually AP derived?
