Free speech is expensive!
What McCain-Feingold hasn't regulated, the copyright laws soon will. What happened to Google last year has just happened to Amazon. It seems search engines are now being routinely sued for copyright infringement. The plaintiff (which I will not name, lest I too get sued for infringement) has been described as "an unsuccessful California pornography business that has branched out into the litigation business with the same results." Let's hope they're unsuccessful this time. Sheesh. I mean, search engines? These things are bots, for crying out loud. At this rate, political critics will find themselves sued for copyright infringement of the things or people they criticize. posted by Eric on 07.01.05 at 08:15 AM |

FOX News has no case at all against Franken. Jerry Falwell tried to sue Larry Flynt for representing Falwell as boasting that he had Oedipal relations with his mother in outhouse, and the Supreme Court (this Rehnquist Court) upheld Flynt.
