Automattic, the company which runs the popular WordPress.org blogging platform, has announced that it is suing the anti-gay campaign group Straight Pride UK for allegedly abusing copyright laws. In August, Straight Pride UK used a provision of US copyright law to make Automattic remove an interview the group had given with Oliver Hotham, a London-based student journalist. In doing so, Straight Pride UK claimed that the interview, which was given to Hotham in a document titled "press release", was a private release.
