Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams is being sued by Professional Photographer R. Bradley Maule for stealing Maule's work for his twitter account. DA Williams allegedly told Maule to sue him and called his copyright claims bull****.

See the article here at Courthouse News, an interview with Maule here, and Maule's blog where the photo was downloaded from.

Philly is a governmental hellhole where a surprisingly large portion of the city's bureaucrats, elected leaders and appointed officials (past, present and probably future) seem intent on ripping off taxpayers while hiring family members to plum no-work, high-salary positions. Nothing that goes on there would surprise me.

Yeah, when you have one party rule for 50 years, corruption ensues. Doesn't really matter WHICH party either...

That's why the city is really named "Filthadelphia" it is an utter ******** I know because I lived there for way too long - had to get out when the cops found the murderer of a Penn PhD student on our back porch.

Where I come from a thief is a thief and a creep is a creep. I hope the photog wins a bundle. His fight is a fight for anyone who ever took a photo worth a darn.
