Former Las Vegas Journal Review publisher and Stephens Media CEO Sherman Frederick was the main champion behind Righthaven. Early on he was the one who explained (in bizarre, nonsensical terms) why the LVRJ was funding and supporting Righthaven, and mocked those who pointed out the ridiculousness of his position. Part of his reasoning was that putting copyright infringing content on your website or blog is absolutely no different than stealing the Corvette out of his driveway.
Even if we ignore how this is completely wrong (someone copying content doesn't remove that content from his site, and he still has the content, etc.) and grant him that premise, it seems rather odd that Frederick himself has now been caught posting infringing material to his own blog.

THEY WOULD GET CAUGHT EVERY SINGLE TIME, and eventually they'd be sued in a court where they'd already sued others for the same thing ~ and they'd have no defense.
Looks like it's come to pass.
The lesson is if you start doing this sort of thing you'll get a thousand fans checking on you every single day ~ and I'd still love to see their own release on that picture of the jackals ~ it's actually likely they took it themselves ~ kind of a Law Firm Alternate Reality Group Photo
Not surprising. Money hungry azzholes are always hypocrites.
