Mouseketools

Short version: A blogger, Spocko, shares hate speech at San Francisco radio station KSFO with the station's advertisers. Some advertisers pull their ads, so lawyers from the station's parent company, a little outfit called The Walt Disney Company, got involved, and this happened.
But Tuesday, Spocko's Internet service provider, 1&1 Internet, pulled the plug on the blog–a move prompted by a Dec. 22 cease-and-desist letter from ABC Radio claiming that material on Spocko's Brain violated Disney's copyright.
Firedoglake has a more detailed summary of the situation.

A fun, useful thing to do on a lazy Sunday morning (before the playoff games start) would be to link to mp3s of the hate speech in question.

Have a nice day.
