FWIW Post Date: 2010-07-11 13:23:23 by Murron Nevada Democratic Party Hit With R-J Copyright Lawsuit ("since March has sued at least 64 website operators") Steve Green The party was sued in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas by Righthaven LLC, a company that has partnered with the R-J to sue website owners over what the R-J calls copyright theft. The suit against the party was one of at least three suits filed Friday by Righthaven, which since March has sued at least 64 website operators. A request for comment was placed with the Democrats, who have been busy the past two days with President Barack Obama in town. Friday’s lawsuit cited five R-J stories and columns that allegedly were posted on the party website since April covering February’s Nevada gaming revenue numbers, Nevada U.S. Senate candidates touting their support for gun rights, a federal program to help residents keep their homes, a federal financial overhaul bill and the opening of a mortgage modification center. The R-J was credited as the source for these stories on the party website, court records show. The lawsuit charges: "Righthaven is the owner of the copyright in and to the literary work entitled: 'Statewide numbers: Gaming revenues jump 13.9 percent.' The defendant willfully copied, on an unauthorized basis, the work." "Democratic Party of Nevada did not seek permission, in any manner, to reproduce, display or otherwise exploit the work," charged the suit, which seeks $75,000 in damages and an order requiring the Democrats to stop infringing on Righthaven’s copyright. The lawsuit focuses on the gaming win story because that’s the story, in this case, that Righthaven obtained a copyright for. The story was published by the R-J on April 8 and was posted on the party website the same day, the suit charges. Righthaven obtained the copyright to the story on June 23, the lawsuit says. While everything a newspaper publishes is subject to copyright protection, attorneys say that by copyrighting individual stories, the copyright owner can then sue for statutory damages and attorneys fees. Also sued Friday by Righthaven were: --Pennwell Corp., an Oklahoma company that runs an energy industry news site called www.pennenergy.com. A May 18 R-J story involving plans by NV Energy to install electronic meters was posted on the pennenergy site, with the story credited to the R-J, court records show. --A Las Vegas-area company called CollegeStarters, which offers academic and career advising services for students. The company website posted a May 3 R-J story involving a shortfall in the state's Millennium Scholarship fund, with the R-J credited for the story, court records show. Also sued in that case was David Williams-Pinkney, whom Righthaven says is the registrant of the collegestarters.com Internet domain name.

It's just a matter of time before sites like this get closed down for good because of copyright infringement.

Its a bad precedent for all of us that frequent political forums.

Too stupid, is reason #2.
Go back and read that sentence. You've used either the comma or the word "undocumented" incorrectly or, even worse, both.
Clueless, would be #3.

Here's the actual story from the LV Sun. I wasn't able to connect to the site when I posted the above. Conservative website among 3 sued over R-J copyrights By Steve Green (contact) Tuesday, July 20, 2010 | 9:12 a.m. A conservative news-sharing website with plenty of experience in dealing with copyright issues has been sued for copyright infringement after Las Vegas Review-Journal stories allegedly were posted on its site. Free Republic LLC, James C. Robinson and John Robinson, who are associated with the website www.freerepublic.com in Fresno, Calif., were sued in federal court in Las Vegas on Monday over the postings. Court records indicate users of that website this year posted a dozen R-J stories, columns and editorials, with the R-J being credited as the source of the information. These postings amount to copyright infringement, charges the lawsuit filed by Righthaven LLC, which has partnered with the Review-Journal to sue website operators around the country. The suit seeks damages of $75,000. Calling itself "The Premier Conservative Site on the Net," the Free Republic site includes links to dozens of newspapers, including the Las Vegas Sun, but not the Review-Journal. The site also includes a long list of newspapers that have requested the site not post their stories, or post only excerpts and links. The R-J is not on that list. Concerning copyrights, the website says: "Free Republic has settled the alleged copyright infringement suit brought by the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post and has agreed not to post full text articles from their publications or any of their related subsidiaries and affiliates. Please do not post full text from these sources." That suit dates to 2000, records show. The Free Republic website continues: "Most of the sourced material posted to Free Republic is posted according to the 'fair use' doctrine of copyright law for non-commercial news reporting, education and discussion purposes. We used to post full text of most articles so we could document history as it's being made, but more and more news agencies are now requesting us to post excerpts and links only to their material, and some are requesting that we post no material at all from their sites. We are complying with all such requests." Also sued last week and this week by Righthaven were: --Erin Wilcox and Stranger Than Fiction. Wilcox, the lawsuit says, is the registrant of the Internet name strangerthanfiction.org. That site allegedly posted without authorization a May 25 column by R-J Publisher Sherman Frederick called "The TSA's mini `Watch List." The strangerthanfiction.org post of the story credited it to the R-J. --Kevin Kelleher in Raleigh, N.C., who operates a website about public address announcers. He's accused of posting on the site, pa-announcer.blogspot.com, an R-J story about UNLV announcer Dick Calvert being named to the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame. That post credited the R-J, records show. Messages for comment on the lawsuits were left with the defendants. The latest suits bring to 75 the number of copyright infringement lawsuits filed since March by Righthaven.
