Perez Hilton Shut Down

Posted in Gossip Sites, Scandal by The Gossip Monger on June 30th, 2007.

Being constantly sued for profiting from photos he has no rights to, Perez Hilton’s site was briefly shut down because his host received complaints about the hosting of copyright images. We don’t agree that what almost all gossip blogs do (which is steal photos) falls under the fair use exception, especially on breaking news, but it’s nice that Perez is standing up for his rights, and the rights of all gossip bloggers.

Perezhilton.com stands by its commitment to protect the freedom of people to transform content on the internet for the purpose of commentary and satire and unquestionably believes that it comports with the fair use exception.

Translation: Perezhilton stands by its commitment to mash up internet content to produce more REVENUE!

    Read the censored version of Brian Gorrell’s website. Take a sneak peak on the coke-filled lives of Manila’s trashy elite. Warning, this site is explosive with photos, names and list of GUCCI GANG (aka Kulangot Group).
