Blogger Sued By Copyright Troll Argues He Had 'Implied License'

• MediaPost News
A blogger sued for allegedly reposting a Las Vegas Review-Journal article has raised an argument that, if accepted, could affect a broad swath of copyright infringement cases. The blogger, Jan Klerks, who publishes the noncommercial site www.skyscrapercity.com, about urban development, argues that the newspaper granted him an implied license to republish its articles by encouraging readers to save the pieces and send them to others.
