I don't know what's going on but I do know that I support the person exposing those losers. Screw them. They are disgusting freaks who are most probably cheating on a spouse and even if they're not they are the filthy type of people who ruin the internet. They should be exposed and humiliated and beat up. Bunch of freaks.

The headline is inaccurate (as most Digg headlines seem to be these days - fact checking? what's that?). 1) You can't sue a private party for a First Amendment violation. The First Amendment is a protection against government, not against persons.2) Diehl is suing Crook with the EFF's help, based on Crook's alleged (a) misrepresentation of his status as the copyright holder of the Fox News image (which he clearly is not), (b) interference with contract, (c) fraud, (d) unfair business practices.The actual complaint can be found at <a class="user" href="http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/diehl_v_crook/crook_complaint.pdf">http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/diehl_v_crook/crook_complaint.pdf</a>

This jerk off is finally getting what he deserves.

Looks like Crook is finally getting his due. 'course now it's Reverend Crook. Kind of redundant.He has signed a settlement that apparently has some real teeth. Let's hope it bites him in the balls. Whoops, no balls, have to settle for the ass.
