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?"
This is Slashdot. Facts don't matter much.

finally copyright laws are used for something useful instead of deleting good AMV's from youtube.
Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter, cults aren't okay.
Doesn't really work that way, though. Any established religion is just a cult that lasted long enough. The prevalent religion in America is a freakin' death cult that regularly feasts on [notional] flesh and blood. Explains a lot when you think about it...
