Spocko, an anonymous blogger/media critic has been served with a cease and desist
order by ABC Radio (owned by Disney) for posting audio clips of KSFO talk radio
shows on his blog. Spocko considers the use of the clips as fair use under
copyright. He posted them to notify major advertisers of the content of the
programs they are supporting on KSFO. It is an interesting (and maybe scary)
story, pitting a lone, non profit blogger against one of the largest media
corporations in the world. Spocko is being defended by several organizations,
including The Electronic Frontier Foundation. See the story on the San Francisco
Chronicle web site:
