New York Times on Craigslist suing one-man site that organizes
Craigslist listings, claiming piracy and more
http://j.mp/M2jpXB (New York Times)
Last week, Craigslist served Mr. DeMenthon with a lawsuit accusing his
site, Padmapper, of infringing on copyright and trademark, and it
threw in a long list of other piracy-related claims for good measure.
But, according to Mr. DeMenthon, he isn't stealing anything. "I was
kind of disappointed. I was always a great admirer of what Craigslist
was doing," he said by phone from his two-bedroom apartment in
Mountain View, Calif., where he works on the site from noon until 3
a.m. daily as the only full-time employee. "I'm just trying to help
people save time."

I'm hoping for a clear explanation from Craig and Jim.
