Gawker Media has been ordered to pull leaked pages of Sarah Palin's unpublished book off its website, pending a court hearing for copyright infringement on November 30.

Palin was due to launch her second book, "America by Heart : Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag," this Tuesday with a nationwide book tour.

However last Thursday the left-wing news blog published 14 partial excerpts of her book (which are still available online through Google's webcache).

The disputed Gawker post began: "Well, look what popped up five days early: leaks from Sarah Palin's forthcoming memoir/manifesto, America By Heart, in which the reality TV matriarch rants against 'talent deprived' reality TV stars, lauds daughter Bristol's chastity and celebrates not aborting Trig."

On the same day Palin tweeted, "The publishing world is LEAKING out-of-context excerpts of my book w/out my permission? Isn't that illegal?"

To which Gawker's Maureen O'Connor mocked in a followup article, "Sarah Palin Is Mad at Us for Leaking Pages From Her Book."

"You may want to take a moment to familiarize yourself with the law," O'Connor wrote, addressing Palin, and pointing to Wikipedia entries on Fair Use.

But Gawker lost this round. On Friday, publisher Harper Collins sued Gawker for copyright infringement. The next day a federal district judge in Manhattan ordered Gawker to remove the pages, pending a court hearing on November 30.
