The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s copyright infringement lawsuit partner on Friday sued U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle over R-J material posted on her website, allegedly without authorization.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas by Righthaven LLC, seeks damages of $150,000 against Angle personally and forfeiture of her website domain name sharronangle.com.
The Democratic Party of Nevada, which has also been sued by Righthaven, charged in an Aug. 23 press release that the Review-Journal had a double standard to “hold Angle harmless while suing the Democratic Party and progressive organizations.”
We shall see if Righthaven also goes after the Titus and Reid campaigns as well, which, as noted on a previous post on this site, also contain "news" items that are merely cut-and-paste excerpts from the R-J. However, the two Democratic campaign websites do not post entire articles, as Angle's website does, merely the opening couple of paragraphs.
