Double Naught Spy

How many folks outside of Las Vegas have ever heard of the LVRJ before this foulness reared it's head? I'd think that LVRJ readers get their fix from the LVRJ.com, not "The Armed Citizen" or "Joe's Blog" or anywhere else.
Do you honestly think that Joe Citizen of Bangor, Maine (and theoretical member of "TheArmedCitizen.com) is gonna surf the LVRJ site for his news? Do you think that even if he visits the LVRJ he's gonna hire some plumbing company that works in LV and advertises on LVRJ to come to his house for service? Do you honestly think that non-NV-based readers of TheArmedCitizen would click on any ad at the LVRJ? How can you lose something that never happens?
Oh I see, because you don't perceive the loss as being significant enough to the victim that the victim should surrender the claim to copyrights. Funny how we are so willing to give up other people's rights but not our own.
Of course none of the people who visit LVRJ's website would ever look at the advertisements for things other than plumbing like say, oh I don't know, hotels, gambling, resorts, entertainment packages.
What Righthaven is doing is over-kill and it is building ill-will for its clients which could result in greater losses than the value of a backlist of stale news articles.
What sort of ill-will is being built. Do you have ill-will toward other companies that have sued to protect their copyrights? Just curious. I have not heard of anyone ever complaining about how negatively they feel about some company that went to court for their copyrights, but maybe I am missing something here. I know I don't harbor ill will toward the artists and recording companies that sued Napster.
