A federal judge on Saturday ordered Gawker Media to pull leaked pages of Sarah Palin’s forthcoming book “America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag” from its blog.
The injunction prohibits Gawker from “continuing to distribute, publish or otherwise transmit pages from the book” pending a hearing on Nov. 30.
HarperCollins Publishers had sued Gawker after it published images on Nov. 17 from Palin’s book before its release next week.
In response, Palin tweeted, “Isn’t that illegal?”
Gawker defended its action in a post Thursday titled “Sarah Palin is Mad at Us for Leaking Pages From Her Book” and addressed a message to “Sarah” telling her to read pages about fair use under copyright law. “Or skip the totally boring reading and call one of your lawyers,” the post said. “They’ll walk you through it.”
HarperCollins filed a legal complaint Friday in federal court asking that the site be banned from what it termed “further copyright infringement.”
Gawker Media LLC couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Saturday but appeared to have removed the images from its site.

Not a intellegent move by Gawker at all!
Thanks Gawker & all other Liberals in The Main Stream Media & Liberals like our own on this site Mr. James McPherson for all of their efforts which just help to promote Sarah Palin even more so in the publics eye in such a positive manner!
Yep, so "positive" that Sarah manages to have approval ratings lower than Obama's.
James it all depends on which poll you want to believe?
Thanks for being so supportive of Sarah Palin! I feel certain that she would appreciate all of your help. Keep up the excellent work James!
To James McPherson: Doesn't it bother you, that you have your head up your rear so far??
Interesting that so many people here have some Freudian need to name themselves after firearms, and that those same deep thinkers are the most likely to go off half-cocked while offering little other than inane insults.
