2011-02-20 -Lurid Crime Tales-
Autistic blogger sued by RightHaven
Apparently he posted a pic originally published in the Denver Post. The young man lives on his own on disability in a rented house. When sued he immediately took down the pic.

RightHaven (apparently) still wants $6,000.

By the way, this means that the Denver Post is now (apparently) a RightHaven client, though the Post didn't see it as 'news' and so hadn't reported it. Consider that fact if you have any dealings with the Post.

#1 Hopefully his disability alone is enough to get the suit waived.

Fred, it sounds like you managed to beat the ethically challenged folks there at WrongHaven. Is there a one-size-fits-all way to do it? Did you end up forfeiting any $$ to them or did you get it back?

#5 Truncated comment. Don't know what happened.

These bottom-feeding leeches on society. Hope they get sued for conspiracy to deprive citizens of their First Amendment rights--and lose big. They are one of the most despicable greedy bunch of ba$tards I have ever seen.

#6 Goggle should be a target as they enable allot of this but provide no warning. Lets try warning labels like on cigarettes before site is accessed.
Those who advertise on those sites should be shunned. I just don't go there if I am aware.

#7 It would appear to me that these bottom feeders are being encouraged by some thing. I get the nasty feeling that this is another attempt by the leftists to muzzle free speech. Perchance we pass the hat and get a real barracuda of the barrister occupation to perform an auto de fey on them and get some public humiliation.

In california they had a similar company going around suing small businesses for minor health and sanitation violations under some lawyer welfare law. A couple of the shock jocks in LA got ahold of the scam and the next thing we knew the law was overturned and the lawyers involved were in jail or hiding under some rock in Bimini.

#8 I get the nasty feeling that this is another attempt by the leftists to muzzle free speech.

Problem with that theory is that they went after Democratic Underground, hardly a right-wing (or even mild left-center) site.

The bright spot is that now all kinds of legal-types are working pro bono on behalf of DU.
