"Hate Radio and a Disney SLAPP
Daily Kos has the saga of one person's campaign against hate radio.
Spocko's problem, that he was posting audio files and has been threatened with a suit by Disney, is easily solved, it seems to me. He should just type up 600-word excerpts of each file and post them instead. The posting of audio clips might or might not be fair use. The posting of 600 words from a work is already defined as such by the courts.
The excerpts can also be included in letters to the advertisers. From the sound of it, 600 words a program would be damning enough."
YouTube would go out of business if this were true. I think Spocko got into trouble when he began talking to the advertisers. When you get between lawyers and money......
Update: Interrobang has the info too.
Update: Bouphonia as well.
Update: Thers.
Update: 1/5 Tom Legg.
