Leno in Vegas "still delivers"

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 14th, 2005

Mike Weatherford, in a Las Vegas Review-Journal review of a recent Leno performance at the Mirage:

Righthaven LLC has teamed up with the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post to sue ‘mom and pop’ websites, as well as nonprofit, political action, public interest, writers, and forum board operators for copyright violations. The strategy of Righthaven is to sue hundreds and thousands of these websites and counts on the fact that many are unfunded and will be forced to settle out of court. Nearly all cases are being filed in a Nevada Federal Court and must be fought in this jurisdiction. You are not safe from Righthaven if you are out-of-state.

We have removed the quote in order to protect ourselves from legal action.

Weatherford makes a good point. There’s nothing wrong with doing a “greatest hits” chunk, as long as one doesn’t ignore the 800-lb. gorilla in the room.
