There's a story on LIB that Staph and CuckDrew are being sued by a copyright troll, and are now asking their troglodytes for donations. I would have thought that all those years of heavy-handed moderators and admins would prevent them from this stuff, but they got rung up anyway. So much for Hardware and his mod stick. So much for bobo-one (translation: back to stocking Safeway shelves), so much for banning 3/5th of their users. Wasn't there one dude on that site who logged over 65,000 posts in 5 years? He should be sending his entire paycheck for the next month. Oh wait, that might have been Denver Don...never mind.
Given they were such self professed geniuses of the internet and were always bragging how the website was profitable since the first day it was up, I'm surprised they didn't know they were required to do certain things and weren't bright enough to have a legal contingency fund established. But realistically, wouldn't it be cheaper for them to toss the lawful copyright enforcement agent(s) a bone and make it all go away?
Otherwise, best of luck to them.
