Mike Weatherford, in the LVR-J, with a clarification and a correction:
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.
We are unclear on the meaning of the phrase, “themed comedy tours of like-minded stand-ups.” Perhaps it will be a steady stream of three-man, Nasty Show-type acts. Or a wide variety of acts who just happen to agree with Slayton on a variety of topics from culture to politics to sexual mores… or not.
In any event, the eternal question is: Who books it?
We’ll be in Vegas, starting on the fifth of next month, so we’ll sniff around and try to figure out what’s going on.
