So for whatever reason there is a crazy women who has decided to sue Archive.org for copy right infringement. She has apparently created a section of her website devoted to her right for copyright over her words. In it she says that if a bot or spider of any kind crawls her site.

So basically, what I think is going on here is that she found a loop whole in the fundamental way that the internet works and is set up and has decided to sue any and all companies that crawl her site. I honestly can’t see any of these law suits falling in her favor but if by chance one did they would clearly be in the likes of the McDonald’s hot coffee law suit. It really just feels like a claim for attention more then anything but I say make your own opinion of the situation and check out for your self here and the digg article here if that tickles your fancy.

Anywho, I am off to enjoy the rest of St. Patrick’s Day but this was just to ridiculous to pass up.
