#1 Just thinking out loud here, but what prevents the R-haven trolls from suing individuals who post on sites like this? Right now they are going for the low lying fruit -- the sites themselves. But that won't last. Sites are quickly wising up and will use the DMCA Safe Harbor and similar defensive tactics.

So, what's next? I'm guessing maybe going after the individuals who post. They won't have DMCA protection. So, file a Doe suit, subpoena the IP logs from the site owner and then hit up individuals for Dane Geld. Worked for the RIAA and MPAA. Same economics apply -- pay us $xxxx to settle or fight in court for $xxxxx.

Anyway, food for thought.

That's a hornet's nest that even the trolls at R----haven should be afraid to stir up - especially if it appeared that only those on the right were attacked in this way. Most smart commenters also don't post anything but short excerpts from articles, which is "fair use". If R----haven started after individual commenters, it would be time to start a RICO investigation of that vile nest of vipers. If they attacked the left, things could get REALLY nasty.

#3 If R----haven started after individual commenters...

Then some of those individuals may decide to visit these vermin personally. It is only a matter of time before someone makes an example out of these scumbags. Right or wrong...just sayin'.

Actually, they've gone after Democratic Underground which is waaay to the left of the Kos Kiddies.

Which, of course, caused lots of legal and, er, 'moral' support to come forth in its defense.
