Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect
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."
Holy crap. I didn't realize that the Streisand Effect was where you suffocate your bed partner. Props to the Rapid City Journal for using "Rapist" as the first word in the headline of their story about his copyright claims. Since he is a convicted rapist, it's a matter of public record and totally OK say that Ted Klaudt is a rapist, right?
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
Thanks for the Info. If I feel like committing Murder I will make sure to stop by Finland as it will only cost me 10 years. Can I also torture the murder victim and only get 10 years? What a wonderful system for repeat offenders.
One of the reasons your crime rate is lower probably has to do with the forced sterilization of those deemed unfit by the state that was practiced from the early 60's through the early 80's thereby sterilizing an entire generation of "undesirables" and preventing them from reproducing. We could likely lower the US crime rate by doing such things but frankly believe that doing so is akin to taking away a persons essential liberty for no cause.
