The Vulcan Death Grip
Big media company beats up on defenseless individual ... This time its ABC vs. "Spocko", who posted record clips he considered offensive from ABC radio stationlinks KSFO-AM. ABC threatened Spocko's ISP who shut down the web site. He moved to another provider.

Fortunately the EFF has stepped in to defend Spocko. EFF Staff Attorney Matt Zimmerman.said "Copyright law is not designed to silence speech that you dislike. ABC and KSFO know that their legal threats were absolutely groundless. Their time and efforts are better spent explaining why they think Spocko is wrong, and letting the public decide, instead of resorting to thuggish legal tactics."
