Dream: My Mother Gets a Job with Advice from Regis Dream: Attending a Snow Festival with Coworkers
Jun 24

This article at CNN.com details the temporary outage of www.perezhilton.com after its host dropped it due to alleged copyright infringement.  More interestingly, the article indicates that a judge refused to issue an injunction against the site, even though a lawsuit is pending.  The website’s author claims he, as a journalist, has a right to use the pictures taken by the paparazzi.  It’s shocking to me that more hasn’t been done to stop his website from infringing.  He does often alter the images, perhaps leading to the analysis that it’s not infringement because he is creating a spoof or compilation, etc.  However, I think the message being sent is that judges are relecutant to side with the paparazzi, even if they don’t like what Perez Hilton is doing.
