Badass Video: Blogger Confronts Newspaper that Stole His Article with $500 Invoice

Duane Lester is the proprietor of All-American Blogger and a regular contributor to both PJ Media and here at PJ Lifestyle (where he covers the superhero/comic book beat for us).

Recently he wrote an article for his blog that a small town newspaper reprinted without permission or attribution. Duane explains the story here and presents the screenshots demonstrating the undeniable plagiarism. So what did he do? Duane went and confronted them and — in blogger fashion — took a video camera along with him.

As both his editor and a peer in the new media world a sense of pride sweeps over me while watching Duane calmly, professionally LAY DOWN THE LAW and GET PAID:

Duane’s an inspiration for bloggers everywhere.
