Senate Candidate Sued By Copyright Troll

Posted by samzenpus on from the lesson-in-the-law dept.

The Iso writes "Las Vegas based company Righthaven found two articles from the Las Vegas Review-Journal about Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle reprinted on her web site without permission, so it did what it always does: bought the rights to the articles from the Review-Journal and sued the alleged infringer, seeking unspecified damages."

    Copyright craziness vs. having Angle in the Senate. Tough call...

    Not likely. If Angle wins, and that is highly likely, Righthaven can look forward to subtle changes in the law.

    I've got an army of flesh-eating Disney lawyers that says otherwise.
