Copyright Whore, Righthaven Defeated In Federal Court

Credit where due:

1) I found this story in the sidebar at AoS
2) The case was won by Democratic Underground (who knew they were good for anything?)

Here is the link to the story in the Las Vegas Review Journal (irony alert)...LINK

I think the implication here is that we don't have to worry about these pukes suing us for linking to the publications that they are in bed with.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Looks like the site is still filtering out the verboten domain names from hyperlinks.  I guess in light of this ruling, we can start allowing them again?

It's IDP's site. He will have to make the call on whether or not to fix the link ban. I did mention where you could find the link to the story.
