New York Times on Craigslist suing one-man site that organizes
Craigslist listings, claiming piracy and more

http://j.mp/M2jpXB  (New York Times)

   Last week, Craigslist served Mr. DeMenthon with a lawsuit accusing his
   site, Padmapper, of infringing on copyright and trademark, and it
   threw in a long list of other piracy-related claims for good measure.
   But, according to Mr. DeMenthon, he isn't stealing anything.  "I was
   kind of disappointed. I was always a great admirer of what Craigslist
   was doing," he said by phone from his two-bedroom apartment in
   Mountain View, Calif., where he works on the site from noon until 3
   a.m. daily as the only full-time employee. "I'm just trying to help
   people save time."

I'm hoping for a clear explanation from Craig and Jim.
