MSM on Spocko

The NY Daily News Radio column covers Disney Empire v. Spocko today:

BLOG WAR: Talk station KSFO in San Francisco has blocked a blogger from posting sound bites he was using to criticize the station.

The blogger, "Spocko," had been posting bits of KSFO shows for months as part of a campaign to persuade advertisers to withdraw sponsorship.

He claimed that several companies, including Bank of America, Visa and Netflix, had pulled their ads to avoid being associated with controversial content.

KSFO contends Spocko violated copyright laws, and last month it sent him a cease-and-desist letter. It also threatened action against his Internet service provider, which has now removed his site.
