Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect

Posted by timothy on from the this-is-my-backup-plan dept.

corbettw writes "Ted Alvin Klaudt, a former South Dakota lawmaker convicted of raping his two foster daughters, has sent news organizations what he claims is a copyright notice that seeks to prevent the use of his name without his consent." The story says Klaudt maintains "no one can use his name without his consent, and anyone who does would owe him $500,000."

    44 years is way more than I would give even for a double murder.

    Boy am I glad you're not in charge of sentencing guidelines.

  2. Fat Ass Republican by srobert · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    When I read about this creep fondling his foster daughters, and then trying to finagle a censorship of the story through copyright law, I said to myself, "I'll bet this guy's a fat ass Republican".

    You know what? I'm from Texas, and I agree with you 100%, someone convicted of double murder shouldn't stay in prison long at all.

    And when they are escorted out of prison, they should be given a brand new uniform to wear.
