Batesline v. John D. Bair
Wizbang unleashes the power of the blogosphere in defense of the attempted silencing of batesline by tulsaworld.com.
Even though you are only targeting a couple small weblogs, when you attempt to silence them you attempt to silence us all.
I assure you we will not let that happen.
Michelle Malkin has also jumped into the fray.
For some interesting thoughts on the blogosphere v. the MSM, check out the guest post below.
And some good reading on Fair Use by Nerf Coated World.
Evangelical Outpost weighs in:
Did someone at the WPC lose their mind? Shouldn’t they have talked to their staff lawyer about the fair use exemption before they sent the letter? And when did linking to an article become a copyright infringement?
It takes a special brand of idiot to bully a guy with a megaphone. But you have to be a world class moron to push someone around who has thousands of compatriots with megaphones. Surely someone at the WPC will come to their senses before the company is embarrassed even further.
As Taste of Liberty says:
Blogtown is the next phase of this journey. Blogtown is the collective wisdom shouting “enough is enough”.
UPDATE: Dean Esmay offers his analysis. And I’ve changed the title of this post from “Kevin Alyward v. John D. Bair” to “Batesline v. John D. Bair” to be a bit more accurate, though maybe “thousands of people with megaphones v. John D. Bair” would be more accurate.
