Diebold Coughs Up Cash in Copyright Case!

It’s always nice when papers just print your press release verbatim… what disturbs me is the thought that perhaps papers carry verbatim press releases from less scrupulous people and treat them as stories written by reporters.  What does “By IPR”  in this article mean?  Whoever IPR is, I don’t think they wrote the EFF’s press release.  I’m stumped.   It appears that they’ve basically subscribed to the EFF’s press release page, which is awesome, because these issues never receive as much mainstream attention as they ought to.  I guess we must just have an EFF supporter on the newspaper staff in Millinocket, ME.
