AP Files 7 DMCA Takedowns Against Drudge Retort
mytrip points out a blog posting by Rogers Cadenhead, author of the Drudge Retort blog, who says: "I'm currently engaged in a legal disagreement with the Associated Press, which claims that Drudge Retort users linking to its stories are violating its copyright and committing 'hot news' misappropriation under New York state law." An AP attorney filed six Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown requests this week demanding the removal of blog entries and another for a user comment.

He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
I think he's right. This Drudge Retort guy is clearly taking advantage of the Drudge Report's high alexa rating. And most of his original content is scrapped.
He can go on about parody, mashups and so on. But in the end it reminds me of Victor Lewis Smith's quip that "imitation is the sincerest form of being an unoriginal thieving bastard"
