Sharron Angle: We're going to "pursue" Harry Reid for reposting my Web site -- possibly in court

Now that the Harry Reid campaign has reposted Sharron Angle's previous campaign Web site advertising her Tea Partying positions, Angle may be heading to court to stop him.

That's what Angle said on a Nevada radio station this morning. Asked by her host whether she intends to pursue Reid in court, Angle said: "We are going to pursue it. I don't think that Harry is above the law."

In case you missed the whole backstory, after Angle won the primary she replaced her old campaign Web site with a new one featuring toned-down versions of her previous positions. The Reid campaign, hoping to draw attention to her Tea Partying, posted a reconstituted version of her old site. Angle responded with a cease and desist request, which Reid's camp at first agreed to, before reposting her site last night.

Angle was asked about Reid's latest in an interview with Nevada radio host Heidi Harris.

"Well your website is like you, it's your intellectual property," Angle said. "So they can't use something that's yours, intellectual property, unless they pay you for it or get your permission... And he didn't ask me for it, and he didn't pay me for it. I would have sold it to him."

Angle was asked: "So the latest is that it is up again, and you are just going to have to see as far as pursing this in court? Is that the plan?"

"Well we are going to pursue it," Angle replied. "I don't think that Harry is above the law. He needs to obey the law if you and I need to obey the law. Harry isn't immune. He needs to obey the law as well."

Listen to the exchange. It's unclear precisely how Angle intends to pursue this, but she did seem to answer affirmatively when asked if she was heading to court.

However she decides to pursue this, the upshot is that it could end up drawing even more media attention to her original Web site than it otherwise might have received. It's a curious strategy.
