Matt Drudge Versus "K Street": The much-hyped new television show "K Street" is a strange mix. It purports to be a television drama. Yet it also stars real-life figures from politics and journalism playing themselves. [...]
This kind of reality/fiction envelope-pushing, however, can have legal consequences. For example, Matt Drudge, of The Drudge Report, is threatening to sue "K Street" for using his name, the name of his website, and images of his website in one of its episodes.
Drudge has been quoted as saying, "This is not a news program! This is an entertainment program and they can't just use [the names and images] without my permission."
