Patterico called him out (and is willing to fight Hilton in court), but I just love The Deceiver's take on it, dismissing the idea that he claimed copyright infringement out of embarrassment: "Perez Hilton Puts the 'Hippo” in “Hypocrite'":
There's more at the link. Ouch factor courtesy of Glenn Reynolds.I’m not sure Hilton is actually embarrassed. He’s never shown a capacity for it. No, he’s doing this out of spite, because he doesn’t like the unintended consequences of his actions. He’s an emotionally stunted bully, and he can’t handle it when somebody pushes back. Even when it means denying someone else’s right to Fair Use, after he’s made a name for himself by ineptly scrawling genitalia on stolen photos of celebrities and, when sued for violating copyright, declaring it Fair Use.
But then, this is hardly Lard Boy’s first instance of jaw-dropping hypocrisy. Just ask Jonathan Jaxson and Diane Wargo.
