Rush Limbaugh Sued Over Illustrations
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 01:32 PM by Tab
A New Hampshire artist has sued Rush Limbaugh, saying the radio host used his work without permission.

Doug Henry of Hanover said Limbaugh stopped paying to use his illustrations of Limbaugh after Henry suggested last year that the two publish a coffee-table book of the works.

Henry's depictions of Limbaugh have graced 67 covers of "Limbaugh Letter," a newsletter. He has worked for Limbaugh for nearly four years as the commentator's cover artist.

In summary, it seems they had a pay-per-use agreement that they did for a while, then apparently they kept using without paying, or something to that effect

22. It's the Lying Nazi Whore's newsletter he puts out
My oldest brother subscribes and the last time I was at his house I picked one up just to see. Warning: Don't ever touch one.
I had to scrub all the skin off of my hands, down to the bone just to rid myself of the creepy crawly slime that seeps into your skin :puke:

14. Just copying bush's example of using artists' work without permission
I guess Limbaugh feels he is "Still the One" and doesn't have to obey the laws the rest of us are subject to.

Liberals don't need laws to remind us of morals, we're naturally respectful of others' rights :)
