That's One Way to Screw Amanda Congdon

It's common knowledge that Denton and Lockhart do some pretty shady shit with Gawker Media and often hide the truth with "no comment" or a cold stone stare in the face, but this is really unbelievable. I hope there's a SWAT Ethics squad rappelling down the side of a building right now.

Thanks for the tip, M.A. and J.F.!

UPDATE: My sources tell me that Nick and Lock planned this whole thing deliberately and leaked it when the time was right. They're laughing about it right now. They wanted to create a media story out of using copyrighted material. Apparently they thrive on this type of attention and rely on the assumption that no one will ever really call them on their shit for fear of a link ban. (Talking about bloggers here, the court of public opinion will be greater than any corporate lawsuit.) Sick fucks. Kinda reminds me of something Bill Gates said earlier: "Does honesty matter in these things, or if you're really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There's not even the slightest shred of truth to it."
