The "webnode" news release was an attempt to prove by the involved parties that "anyone" can publish a news release that says "anything". It's purpose was to prove that press releases can be "spun" to look favorable and the publisher of the news release such as B*sness wre may do little or nothing to verify the information. I do not know why this has not been said like this in plain english but it took me a few minutes of research to end up laughing my @$$ of over the "webnode" site as well as the FBN site......got to have a sense of humor.....as far as a suit goes while copyright infringement can be iffy, if they "told it like it is" they cannot get sued for stating facts....and if they are sued, does not mean that they will lose or win.
