Want to Threaten a Lawsuit Against a Blogger? Get in Line

Ya’ll Politics reported this week about former Mississippi Hose candidate Jordan Bankhead’s threatened lawsuit against the FireMcCoy blog. Their transgression? Cutting and pasting from Bankhead’s website. No, really. I’m serious.

My Take:

Wow. If a blog cutting and pasting from another website is actionable, then I’m in big trouble.

Congratulations to FireMcCoy. A blogger being threatened with a lawsuit is a rite of passage. And, in my experience, not very unusual.
