I have a reply for the Times Picayune and their lawyer Steve Gaynor

Nuts!

I will vigorously defend our fair use of any material we find that enables this media organization to expand the public’s knowledge of the systemic corruption in the New Orleans Metro and the newspaper that aides and abets it.

Now you gotta deal with me as I am responsible for the content on this site.

Oh yeah, here is a clue for ya!

  1. Sorry about being dense on this issue but do I understand that just because the Times-Picayune caved on the Trout Point story , anyone who has a copy has to destroy it so it never again sees the light of day?

    I imagine then that the TP retraction agreement should have included a clause requiring the TP to go out and collect every copy delivered to every subscriber. Other than that I don

  2. Dear GoDaddy:

    Thank you for unlocking my site.

    I have edited the comment as I promised and indeed am in the process of deleting all my posts from Godaddy’s servers as your copyright complaint process does not meet the needs of my site, which is considered News Media. I’ll regret to say that I’ll be moving to another host that has a copyright complaint procedure more in line with WordPress.com, which does not have a disable first, ask question later procedure and which recognizes the fair use exception of the US Copyright law. The comment in question remains on our original site at slabbed.wordpress.com so I am not certain what was accomplished by Wild West Domains today besides chasing me off as a customer.

    My two weeks online with Godaddy self hosting my investigative blog Slabbed has been a wholly unsatisfying experience based upon today’s events. I cannot in good conscience recommend Godaddy to other WordPress bloggers based upon that experience.

    Sincerely,
