Can DU sue Freerepublic?

[patrioticliberal]

For copying posts from this site and pasting them there? :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

Well they could countersue on similar grounds

9. For DU post,

what is written here could be considered "intellectual property" where as what the freepers write... well, fill in your own joke here.

Just kidding, I don't believe that there's a lawsuit here.

1. NO.

[Beaver Tail]

2. Doubt it

I don't think copyright laws cover it but it is a great thought.

3. They would sue us too

People do the same thing here. They'd sue you right back. I think that's quite a pathetic term to sue someone on and quite a waste of time. If I was a lawyer I wouldn't bother it.

4. no - we'd have to provde monetary damages

and nothing they do could possible hurt us!

5. geez.. those pissants?,,,waste of time....n/t

[AlCzervik]

6. no but they have been sued for copy-write infringement and lost

and they haven't learned their lesson yet so i wouldn't be surprised to see them in court again.

7. No, But I'll Happily Piss On Its Grave When It Dies From Its Own Lies!

8. Even if we could, they're not worth the time and effort.

They are mere flies to us.

10. Now why would you want to do that, and ruin the harmony between..

the two groups?

[madrchsod]

11. no -

12. What could we possibly get?

A bag of pork rinds, some used Toby Keith albums, an American flag made in China?

Hardly worth the effort.

13. We can't - but - a sympathetic judge could allow them to sue us
