We don't need the LAT or WP on Free Republic. The only use for those newspapers is toiletpaper.

I'm sure they're more p'd off then us. Their jaws drop when they see how fast the freepathons are and how much money is raised.

VIVA FREE REPUBLIC!!!

OUTSTANDING!!!

Thanks for everything you do.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Very good news.

[ArneFufkin]

Z2, Aligyrl and that guy from "Perry Mason in cuckooland" are on my "defecated" bump list register.

This is very good news Jim.

As I wrote in our last interchange, there are potential benefits, consequences unintended by our opponents, when we don't post their entire article.

Now I hope the moderators will let us post our own titles in the place of the misleading ones the editors at those lamestream institutions choose.

Afterall, when we change the titles, we are posting less of their text in addition to adding our own commentary. <G>

Congratulations Jim et al. That seems to be an equitable resolution.
10 k…?I'm putting in 10 bucks right now for my part.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Felicidades JimRob!

Que viva La Republica Libre!!!!!

Yahoo!, oops, might be a copyright on that, how about

YEEEE HAW! :)

[Howlin]

My goodness....what will they do with their TWO OPEN BROWSER SCREENS now?

[not-alone]

A big thanks with lots of love to you and your family and I'm happy it is over.

[John Robinson]

LOL! Good to see they haven't changed, still readily making asses of themselves.

[CedarDave]

I have to agree with JoeEveryman. Except for your not paying a very large dollar settlement, FR has LOST THIS CASE! You still have to get permission from (BARF) the LA Slimes or the Washington Compost to publish full text articles. And you do have a bullseye on your back for companies like TimeWarner-CNN, the NY Times and others to aim at. You may have saved FR, but the First Amendment took a hit.

[ArneFufkin]

Hey it's just too bad Clarity wasn't coherent enough to settle this long ago.

You yelled at me two years ago for me saying EXACTLY that! I'm still a little out of sorts from your vicious tongue lashing! ;^)

This was an ill advised battle to join from the start. Bleeding their enemies dry is what these big stinkpit propaganda and evil-forced bullies do. Their guys and gals are on salary - it was either destroy FR or focus on litigating against the kid who stole the 5 What-a-Burger coupon inserts from a Fairfax paper box in mid '73. The case is still active: "Washington Post Corporation vs. Larry Klayman".

[mrsmith]

The court should have kicked LAT/WP in their butts.
But one thing I know: as always, you have done what is best.

Let's not even link to the clowns- let them see what happens to their web site when their propaganda is no longer posted on the greatest online forum.

Was there ever an appeal to the supreme Court? Just curious.

[BADJOE]

A five grand bullseye aint much of a target.

Plus the fact that not all are as stupid as they are.

Getting your story and your publication mentioned on FR to hundreds of thousands of people who otherwise would never see it is a plus not a minus.
