Battle in the cyber-world
Just in time for Oscar weekend: a showdown betweenNikki Finke's must-read Deadline Hollywood website and her rivals. Earlier this week, Finke's lawyers sent a"cease and desist"letter toTheWrap.com, claiming the latter site was stealing Deadline's hard-won work without giving proper credit. Now we hearThe Hollywood Reporterwill receive a similar warning by week's end.
The letter, which both sites posted, accuses TheWrap of"misappropriating content fromDeadline.com{Finke's site}, publishing that information on TheWrap.com, passing off that information as its own, and doing so without compensating or even crediting Deadline.com."It cites TheWrap's editor in chief,Sharon Waxman, who had criticized another site, Newser, for lifting stories from TheWrap.
"This is really a stunt,"Waxman told Gatecrasher."There's no merit at all."
Finke declined to comment, saying that the letter"speaks for itself."
