I just wanted to note that DailyKos didn't actually *host* any of the audio clips in question. There were links in a few diaries that pointed to the clips on other sites. (Kos gets enough grief, I'm sure.) I hosted them, originally, and other bloggers grabbed and distributed them. As yet, I haven't heard from Disney, nor has anyone else that I know of. I quoted your final two paragraphs on my two sites - thanks for the great write-up. Could I assume you've read the Cluetrain Manifesto? Rip - (Team Blog Integrity) Nicely written, sir!

Jonathan started raggiong on HP on his blog, HP lawyers send him a letter to stop, which Jonathan posted on his blog. Whereas other firms that he ragged on simply reponded in kind on their blog or, if I remember correctly, ignored him. No one else brought in the lwayers.
