WV Assessor Sues to Keep Tax Maps Off the Internet
An anonymous reader writes "After trying to charge $167,488 for their collection of county tax maps (in TIF format), West Virginia was forced by a judge to hand them over for a $20 'reproduction costs' fee. Now a county tax assessor has filed a lawsuit trying to block the tax maps from being put online, claiming copyright infringement and financial damages since fewer people are coming to her to buy paper copies at $8 per page."

HUNTINGTON -- West Virginia leads the nation in prescription drug use, according to a report by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee . . .
You can't say that ordinary people can get it for free but corporations (which, technically, have many of the rights of individual people) have to pay.
Sure I can. Corporations are not people.
This is my sig.
...the Clintons were selling the White House! While wholesale fraud of billions of dollars was occurring, there was dead silence here. Holy f**k Billy bob is STILL selling his presidency long after he left and people are pounding their keyboard over an $8 charge for a document in some out of the way place?!?!?! Wow, just wow.
Well to be fair about it, Clinton isn't the only one who is selling the White House but they are the obvious top front runners for selling out.
Well, here comes the democratic shills and Clinton lovers to mod me down. Oh well, one can bring up the truth, and it hurts, but a lot of people just seem to put their fingers in their ears and yell LA LA LA CANT WAIT TO SEE A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE LA LA LA regardless of getting the same results as Bush for the last eight years...
