ABC/Disney Shuts Down Blog Exercising Fair Use
An anonymous reader writes "A blogger named Spocko had his blog shut down by ABC/Disney lawyers because he had posted clips from an ABC Radio-affiliated program and commented on their content, as well as informed show advertisers of what exactly they were paying for. Spocko merely pointed out the content that station KSFO was broadcasting, and as a result Visa pulled their advertising from the station. More companies were reportedly considering pulling their ads. A YouTube video summary is available. From the Daily Kos article: 'How'd he do it? He did it the way it's always done - by working within the law, identifying points of weakness, exploiting them and being absolutely tenacious ... It appears to me as if Disney is attempting to bully a little guy in an unethical manner. Any media lawyer worth the air she breathes knows that Spocko's use was well protected.'"
>You now have good reason to believe these people aren't actual Christians.
Umm, who are you to judge who is "real christian" or not (where's that part in the bible about judging others). Not to mention this fits in with the history of xtianity (or any religion really) although I believe xtianity may be the bloodiest because of historical reasons. Early histories, crusades, inquisition, witch burning, reformation, recent child molestations, etc etc. Lets not be purposely naive.
