Yep, I counted FR among the three but didn’t want to speak on your behalf. I’m sorry it happened to you.

Great news and telling Righthaven to take a hike is most appropriate.

This is also something to shout with joy about (along with Nancy Pelosi saying that she cannot visit our troops)!

From the beginning of the opinion:

"Abraham Lincoln told a story about a lawyer who tried to establish that a calf had five legs by calling its tail a leg. But the calf had only four legs, Lincoln observed, because calling a tail a leg does not make it so."

LOL

"...the court vacated the lower court’s ruling that the defendant’s posting of the entirety of a copyighted article to an online discussion board was a protected fair use.”

I can live with that. I've never minded excerpting others' work to post here. About the only time I've posted a full article, is when it was an original piece from a blog, or other such source.

Great news. Never had a problem with excerpt and link, myself. It’s like a courtesy Ping.
