AMC threatens to sue fansite over Walking Dead spoilers

AMC claims that spoilers (and even predictions) of its show,
The Walking Dead, infringe copyright. As spoilers are other
people's descriptions of something they've seen, in their own
words, this would put all unauthorized reviews and commentary
in the same boat. But that hasn't stopped it issuing legal
threats to fans.
