What a bunch of whining squealing hogs!   So stupid, they dont realize that people that refer to their articles (with link provided) is free advertising for them, how is that a copyright infringement if they are linked back to being the author?   So long as an indivdual isnt using their material as their own, I do not see the harm they claim.   Seems rather juvenile by a bunch of small time operations with egos far afield from their worth....JMO

Good riddens...no need to ever read their material, see how that works for them  ::MonkeyWink::

Right - you guys probably won't have to worry about it except that if you think it might be one of the banned sites you should PREVIEW your post first.  Then if you see the link has been blocked it's probably best not to post ANY of the article (going forward)

Klaas I goofed..can you remove a post from Kiplyn Davis thread. When I copied and pasted the address it looked OK but when I posted it showed as a blocked site. How do you tell before you post ?

Done.

BBM
You can tell before you post by using "preview" before you hit post.  That would indicate a link, word or phrase that is filtered. MB

PLEASE NOTE THE DONATION BUTTON ON OUR PAGE.  RED was hesitant to add a donation button but I talked him into it.  The donations would go to pay LEGAL fees Red is incurring due to this RightHaven suit.

For those who aren't aware, please go to this thread and read about RightHaven, or google RightHaven Suit:

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=9451.0


Red is desperate, any donation at all would be hugely appreciated.  You can write LEGAL FEES if you like in the Donation comment area.  The smallest out of court settlements have been between 5-10K and there's no guarantee that RightHaven will settle out of court.

Thanks!

To donate, click on the DONATE button at the upper right in the forum

Yes, if you read I'm saying for those who aren't aware of the RightHaven problem to follow the link.  The DONATION BUTTON is in the top right hand corner of the forum.

It is also on the SM front page.

YES, the suit filed by RightHaven against Red and Scared Monkeys was filed in a Colorado court on January 21, 2011.  Red has retained an attorney.  When they sue, they sue for $150k plus they want to close the website.

Thanks for giving us a chance to help, Red and Klaas.

I will donate, and hope everyone will give what they can.  Together, hopefully we can make a difference.

Done.  I just put "Donation-Scared Monkeys".  Hope that is o.k.

Keep us informed.  If more is needed Red knows we will do all we can to help.  JMO but that scum of the earth better NOT shut down this website. 

I just spent some time reading all the twitter and links on that site and they really are bottom feeders. JMO

KCJackie  - I think the AD's help pay to keep the forum running but this lawsuit is way more costly than running this site.  I know RED really appreciates all the donations and he knows it's hard for everyone right now.

Klaas thank you for talking Red into letting us know what is going on.  I would like to call these RightHaven people more than scum buckets. But we are not allowed to use those kind of words here at SM.  I know it had to be hard for Red to let us help. I for one have honored to help. Praying if we stand together and all help with what we can to help Red differ the cost of standing up to these scum suckers. Red and Scared Monkeys will be the winners in this battle.  Hence all of us members come out winners too!  Please let us know if there is anything else we can do.  GE

Gypsy
- I have no idea.  All I know is that the button in the upper right in the forum can be used for PayPal or Debit or Credit.  It worked for me and I chose the PayPal option at that link.  This is what I did:

1.  I entered the amount I wanted to donate then I clicked on UPDATE TOTAL (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5059/5503290166_e8fc1de5c8_o.jpg)

2.  From there you can choose which way to pay.  I chose PayPal and signed into PayPal.  From there it was just a normal PayPal transaction.

I agree!  I did a lot of reading last night, and I have hope from what I've read that it will happen...it's just a matter of time.  The right attorneys, or maybe even eventually a judge that tires of this abuse of the court system will put a stop to this nonsense. 

They are banking on defendants settling out of court, since most could not afford a lengthy court battle. 

Dana Eiser's case in South Carolina and the attorney's responses to Righthaven with regard to a counter suit were especially interesting reading IMO.   ::MonkeyWink::

The facts in that case may differ but it gave me a good feeling to see them getting it right back in their face!

That is exactly what I did also.  And so far no email..so I don't know rather it went through or not. 

I think I will check again tomorrow with Paypal and then check my online bank....if it didn't go through I will donate again using my debit card and see how that works.

Gosh, very sorry to hear about the lawsuit...I don't have much right now coming out of winter (hopefully) but I did donate what I could today.

I have faith that all Monkeys will do what they can, such wonderful people here...I would be lost without my every morning read here.

Yes ..Paypal has my checking info..as well as my Discover Card..which is a business card ...for back up.

I use Paypal online whenever the logo is available.

I haven't had this happen before and I think it may have been a Paypal snafu.

So I will try again tomorrow to make my pennies count for Scared Monkeys.

Try this:

1.  Go to the link in the upper right hand corner of the page (note it's not a PayPal link but a Donation link where you can do either PayPal or Credit/Debit)

2.  At the top of that page is asks you for an amount.  Put that amount in and click on UPDATE TOTAL

3.  Then either log into PayPal if you are paying that was or provide your Credit/Debit info

4.  It will then take you to another screen.  Once you get there it's simply verifying and giving your final OK (if I remember correctly)

Sorry for the intrusion.....

PLEASE NOTE THE DONATION BUTTON ON OUR PAGE.  RED was hesitant to add a donation button but I talked him into it.  The donations would go to pay LEGAL fees Red is incurring due to this RightHaven suit.

For those who aren't aware, please go to this thread and read about RightHaven, or google RightHaven Suit:

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=9451.0


Red is desperate, any donation at all would be hugely appreciated.  You can write LEGAL FEES if you like in the Donation comment area.  The smallest out of court settlements have been between 5-10K and there's no guarantee that RightHaven will settle out of court.

Thanks!

I just wanted to take the moment to thank all that have made donation to Scared Monkeys. Your thoughts and generosity are most welcome. We have sent personal thank you’s to all that have made donations; however, I noticed that some came back undeliverable for Comcast or ATT email providers. Please note, I want to wish a big thank you and it is very much appreciated.

I also realize that many support the cause; however, are unable to make donations. By supporting our advertisers, and continued reading at SMyou help out as well.

It is rare that we ever ask for donations in order to generate revenues to make the site go; however, the present situation is an unforeseen and unexpected situation.

You can donate through Paypal and we also might be adding a PO Box as well.

I thank all of you from the bottom of my Monkey heart.

I was reading about "this company" a while back, but didn't know a poor "Monkey" was caught in the cross-hairs. Good luck in taking the *!#&s!

Some defenses have worked against them, including "fair use" (right to speech by excerpting and commenting), "implied license" (if the publisher urges you to email story, or send it to friends, twitter without warning of copyright requirements), and copyright-abuse by fraud. This last one relating to how they troll the internet, and find copyrighted material on message boards or blogs and then obtain the rights to the material to sue retroactively, but eventually who benefits is the previous owner of the material, not "the company" that is suing.

I don't know how much to comment before getting in trouble, so I'll quit. Hopefully "this company's" attorneys will get tangled in such a legal mess that they will be sorry the day they decided to join law school.

The way I see it, sharing an article or photo in a forum that is dedicated to just commenting is like opening a newspaper and allowing someone else in the room to read  an article or look at it.

My opinion only.

I have never gotten that message before.  I'll keep you posted if I do get an email and if the donation actually went through.
I see where that is happening GypsyDD.  At the top of our screens to the left, is a line for "NEWS" and there appears a line about Righhaven.  If you click there, it won't let you donate.
The button on the right of the screen is where I went to donate.
Klaas, do we need to dig deeper to keep our wonderful site going?  Please let us know.

Red deserves support in whatever way we can give it. SM is a 24/7 place to get educated, laugh,cry,vent, etc,etc. Thanks to SM, I learned there was way more to the "story" than mainstream news would ever in a million years bother to report. It opened up another world to me, I'm grateful for it.

Wow. Just found this thread thanks to Klaas!

Will donate now and will in April. The press should be happy that in our quotes we have always tried to put the link. Internet usage is new to some and honest mistakes are made.

In the back of my mind I think this is a way to generate cash for newspapers that are  having less subscribers for now some get their news online and some stopped their subscriptions for the local paper got to political to one side. I stopped my subscription to the LA Times for that last reason. I like the news to be  balanced, even if I disagree not just one sided.

Red has made Internet history here because of these sites. If this suit is successful, the next thing will be shutting down the Internet. I have been online since 1982 and have learned allot.

I am a safer person because of this site. I am more intelligent, more humble and thankful. IMO because of Red's sites and the individuals who read there, they are the ones who take action!

We have backed Natalee for years and done some mighty good fighting.

Monkeys United = hard to get them off your backs! ::MonkeyDance::

Am donating now for Red and the Scared Monkeys all over the world!

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/oct/26/righthaven-ordered-pay-nearly-120000/
Righthaven ordered to pay nearly $120,000 in attorney fees, court costs
October 26, 2011

Newspaper copyright infringement lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC of Las Vegas was hit Wednesday with an order to pay $119,488 in attorney's fees and costs in its failed lawsuit against former federal prosecutor Thomas DiBiase.

This was by far the largest fee award against Righthaven, but likely will be dwarfed by an upcoming award in Righthaven's failed suit against the Democratic Underground. Before Wednesday the largest fee award against Righthaven was for $34,045 — an amount Righthaven says it's having trouble paying or even posting a bond to cover.

DiBiase has a website covering no-body murder cases, or cases where a murder is suspected but the victim's remains have not been located. He was sued by Righthaven last year over allegations he posted without authorization a story on such a murder case by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

U.S. District Judge Roger Hunt in Las Vegas dismissed Righthaven's suit against DiBiase this summer because Righthaven lacked standing to sue him under its flawed lawsuit contract with R-J owner Stephens Media LLC.

The DiBiase case was noteworthy because his attorneys at the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco said DiBiase's nonprofit website performed a public service assisting law enforcement officials in bringing justice to crime victims — and that his post was protected by the fair use concept of copyright law.

A sign of things to come?

A $2.5 Million Libel Judgment Brings the Question: Are Bloggers Journalists?
Published December 22, 2011

‘Bloggers Beware’

That was the headline on a conservative blog following a $2.5 million judgment this month against blogger Crystal Cox in a defamation case tried in federal court in Oregon. It’s a case followed closely in both the blogosphere and in the traditional media, as it highlights the proliferation of blogging, the blurring of lines between journalists and bloggers and more libel cases born out of blog posts.

I believe it's over but he hasn't actually told me that.  I'll see if I can get him to post an update.  Looks like Righthaven is getting treated by the courts as they should.   ::MonkeyCool::

Thanks Klaas. It looks like the courts are taking care of this group. I have often wondered how and why so many of these newspapers went along with them. Or am I missing something? I pray it's over.
