Copyright As Weapon In US Senate Campaign

kfogel writes "Sharron Angle, the Republican candidate for US Senate in Nevada, is using a copyright 'cease-and-desist' letter to stop her opponent, incumbent Harry Reid (currently majority leader in the US Senate), from reposting old versions of her campaign website. The old pages are politically sensitive because Angle campaigned from the far right in the primary, but is now toning that down for the general election." As kfogel notes, the letter "also accuses the Reid campaign of intending to impersonate Angle's campaign, which seems doubtful, but who knows?"

So, according to you, Democrats are saying:

"They're slipping away! Grip tighter!"

While Republicans are saying"

"This country deserves a better class of crazy, and I'm gonna give it to 'em."

It's about time this DMCA carp hits politically sensitive people

I suspect hitting politically sensitive people with a carp may get you arrested, and possibly motivate a rewrite of the laws pertaining to assault with a large freshwater fish.

As much as I despise Hannity, I'd prefer to see Beck go through twice.
