Newspaper Chain Drops [copyright troll] Righthaven - 'It Was a Dumb Idea'

http://j.mp/qFD5h6  (Wired)

    "The new chief executive of MediaNews Group, publisher of the Denver
     Post and 50 other newspapers, said it was "a dumb idea" for the
     nation's second-largest newspaper chain to sign up with copyright
     troll Righthaven."

Yep, it was a dumb and damaging idea.  And kudos to Mr. Paton for
correcting his predecessor's mistake.
