Citadel Broadcasting Settles Righthaven Lawsuit
This article highlights a very sad truth: It is the little guys who are fighting Righthaven with guts and honor. The big guys (and well-funded), such as Citadel Broadcasting, Matt Drudge and Alex Jones, settle and move on. They have done nothing to advance fair use or First Amendment arguments. Such "lack of action" only works to keep Righthaven operational, suing more Holly Brewers.
Holly L. Brewer was accused by Righthaven of posting without authorization a Review-Journal story on the hobby website tvclubhouse.com.See: Article in full

"I totally recognize this is a nonsense troll lawsuit where they expect the defendants would rather just settle than fight. I hate the idea this is going to cost me time. But even worse I hate trolls like this and hope to see them get trounced and lose money from filing these papers," she said. "I hope there can be even more publicity so other victims won't roll over and pay these creeps."

I would like to know if Citadel Broadcasting agreed to a permanent gag order? Are Citadel talk show hosts now barred from mentioning, discussing, or criticizing Righthaven?
