Submission + - ABC/Disney shuts down blog exercising fair use

An anonymous reader writes: A blogger named Spocko had his blog shut down by ABC/Disney lawyers because he had posted clips from an ABC Radio-affiliated program and commented on their content, as well as informed show advertisers of what exactly they were paying for.
