The New York Times Caves.

Who says the little guy can't take on corporate power? Shortly after meeting with my attorney, The New York Times and I are happy to announce a settlement of my plagiarism complaints against them. In a major mistake on their part, there is nothing in the letter I received that requires confidentiality, so I am free to discuss the terms they agreed to. Quoting from the letter:

A multitude of settlement options, AND free access to TimesSelect. I am obviously very happy with the way my attorney represented my interests. I haven't decided which settlement option to go with, as there is still the matter of his legal bill, but the important thing is, a principle has been established, justice has been served, and all creative minds can sleep a little easier tonight. I can only hope the Times takes the lesson I taught them to heart in the future.
