backCopyright abuse in Nevada politics Talking Points Memo tells us that Nevada Senatorial candidate Sharon Angle, running against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, has sued him for violating copyright link here. He had posted her old website after she took it down and rewrote her old far-right positions used to win the primary, in favor of more moderate ones.
Reid did take down the copy, after stating that he had made his point about her retailored views. This interesting abuse or misuse of copyright law again shows an old fox obeying the law but getting what he wanted, including great publicity in a campaign where it is not all that easy to get news coverage.
