We need to know why this agent was protected and how we can utilize that.
The Fair Use Doctrine applies to anyone. It’s just that this realtor pushed the issue in court. Righyhaven picked the wrong guy - somebody with the financial means to defend himself. IIRC, he also got legal fees from Righthaven. Righthaven likes to pick on little blog sites and forums run by ordinary people of limited means because they can’t afford a full-on legal defense. So they settle for relatively small sums. It’s extortion through intimidation. It’s no different than shakedowns such as the Mafia, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, ACORN, the NAACP and often the government perpetrate.
