North Jersey Media Group is suing Sarah Palin for daring to use a 9/11 photo of firemen raising the U.S. Flag at Ground Zero after the terrorist attack. The North Jersey Media Group claims they own the copyright on this photo and say Palin used it for fundraising purposes with SarahPAC. The lawsuit by the North Jersey Media Group was originally filed in the southern district of New York. Today, a judge granted a motion of transfer to send the case to a New Jersey court. Of course there is no evidence that Palin used the photo for fund raising purposes. But the left wing media’s obbession with Sarah Palin continues six years later after the 2008 election.
In an Order filed today, the Judge granted the motion to transfer, but to New Jersey where NJMG is headquartered. Given the transfer, the Judge deferred ruling on the merits of the motion to dismiss to whichever federal judge gets assigned in New Jersey.
It will be interesting to see if NJMG continues to fight the lawsuit, which makes no sense given that the photo clearly was not used for fundraising and was taken down quickly. Indeed, as previously noted, there is an issue as to whether Palin and SarahPAC even received actual notice of the takedown demand prior to the filing of the lawsuit just two days after the Facebook post was made.
