A need met
For some years, Clayton Cramer had a very useful blog, The Armed Citizen. One of his contributors posted a story reported in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. And it turns out that that paper has sold the right to sue any copyright infringers to some scumbag outfit known as Righthaven. Here's where you can contribute to Clayton's defense.
As for this blog -- the Las Vegas Review-Journal is henceforth a nonentity. No links. No mentions.
Instapundit asks if anyone can come up with a plugin to ban viewing of papers owned by the Review-Journal's parent, and Clayton has a way to do it in Firefox.
Comments
I installed the plug-in this morning on Firefox and I can attest that it works just fine.
If anyone is using Chrome, someone in the comments section on Clayton's blog has an alternative that works for them as well.

Is there a link to send hate mail to the Las Vegas Review-Journal?

Link discussing this from a technical PoV. Seems that RightHaven buys the rights to the articles *after* they find someone using them.

Why not look up IPs for the Group, and all their advertisers, and block them by adding to your Hosts file, like in the following example. It makes the internet so much more responsive ....
