Someone is after Denny Crane

He's coming for you, Denny

Borrowing a page from patent trolls, the CEO of fledgling Las Vegas-based Righthaven has begun buying out the copyrights to newspaper content for the sole purpose of suing blogs and websites that re-post those articles without permission.

I read that article yesterday, a really f'cked up move.

I remember Napster, when it was about taking down the web application. The application fell (temporarily), and then ten more took its place. And then the cycle continued, and a hundred more came along...

I would write a lawyer joke here, but I don't want to get sued.

I'd say that ABM's going to be perma-banned soon.

To make barfo happy...

Here's a link:

Talks about how Europe's economic outlook is becoming brighter while the US's fades.

In a related story:

http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/banking/2010-07-24-goldman-bailout-cash_N.htm

Goldman Sachs reveals where all that bailout money it received (and a lot of money that funneled to it through AIG) went. To overseas banks.

And in a third related story:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/politicolive/0710/Dean_Fox_News_racist.html?showall#

Howard Dean says Fox News is racist. I guess he's trying to distract you (and us all) from the more important and embarrassing news in the first two links.

Wow, it's funny how we went from the end of the Euro a couple of weeks ago in Greece and Portugal to Super-Europe now.
It's like the news writers can't agree on what the story is.

I'm a regular Nelson Mandela.

Hey Denny, here's another great moneymaking opportunity for you to jump in on. First, you and I hire KingSpeed for peanuts. Get him on contract by not telling him how big this will be. The TV show will be named "Someone is after Denny Crane." With your money, my brains, and his looks, this can't fail. The story is, a retired starship commander supplements his giant government pension by moonlighting as a PI, reading message boards and suing them for plagiarism. He often goes undercover as a lounge lizard dilettante who posts conservative articles all day. Everyone thinks he's an idiot, but he's got them all fooled. He's really a Democrat. Besides, he sues members of his message board if they copy and paste his articles.

I've almost written Episode 1. We are introduced to the regulars--his stacked secretary Della and his eager young buck investigator Paul. Denny never loses a case. A siren walks in with bedroom eyes and mournfully confides that her rich late husband ran away to Borneo after catching amnesia from Betty Crocker cake mix. (See, we're trying to build a female audience. The men will all watch, duh.) So Denny...

Can you do your share in this partnership and finish the story?

This seems vaguely familiar...

Stanley Cup Trivia

Made a guest appearance on 'Boston Legal.' Denny Crane was trying to engrave his name on the Cup. He felt he deserved it because he helped the Bruins win the Cup by lending Bobby Orr his lucky jockstrap for the winning game. (Of course, it probably WASN'T the REAL Cup, but still...)
