Copyright Irony

As all the fanatic copyright nerds out there already know, a company called Righthaven sued several bloggers for linking to articles while quoting from them briefly. They lost their trial, because it turns out they didn't own the rights to the articles they were suing about.

But now the head of the company has posted to a blog, quoting from several other articles. Committing the exact offense he was suing other people for. Really.

This is why I'm a supporter of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They fight back against jerks like these, and they explain the details of these issues, so I can understand how ironic that blog post is.
