What is astounding about this, is the fact that they can quote and not print the source, that they can misquote and name the source!!!

The Society has unlimited resources and can easily afford the legal costs of such a suit. Quotes could not.
Yeah, but the child abuse lawsuits are going to cut into their funds.

The list of websites that the WTS has shut down is longer than just Quotes.
- Watchtower Observer
- reexaminer who got shut down on one site and moved to another site and the WTS tracked him down a second time (he also had the Quotes site on the site)
- Elsewhere was hassled by them - I think
and I know there are others but can't think of them right now
If I recall correctly, the WTS wanted the Quotes site taken down initially because the way he presented the material made the WTS look bad. But even before that I think the first time I saw the Quotes site he had commentaries on the excerpts. They coerced him to take down the commentaries. Then they really even worse with just the quotes so they went after him again. There is only so far one person with limited funds can fight a meg-million$ business.

The bottom line is, as much as I hate the Watchtower, they are entitled to the same rights as any other business in this country, including the right to defend their copyrights against infringement. They also have the right to go to hell, and I hope they exercise that right as soon as possible..

Suppose the WTS sues someone with limited assets and they don't try to defend themselves. They just notify the media and make it look like a David and Goliath scenario. I wonder if the WTS would continue amid the bad publicity or just give up.

They would most likely continue the litigation as the media would have scant interest in pursuing such a story.

Bingo, and even if they did they would just keep going it's the devil's world after all.
