Righthaven strikes again...Please go to the website and read the article. The first comment is from his grandparents and tells even more of the story.

These folks, Righthaven have no clue the bad will and hate they are creating. I’d be mindful of just suing anyone and everyone, lest they end up suing someone like Jared Loughner et al... and well you get the picture.

I should think there would be a number of ways this individual could find protective shelter under the language of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Perhaps some capable lawyer will see this story and offer his services pro bono to the blogger.

Thanks for posting this.

If you don't want anything from your website copied and used elsewhere, there are ways of posting that will not allow that to happen. If Righthaven didn't take any of these steps to prevent this from happening, they are fishing for lawsuits.

I think that fair use exceptions should be made in most cases when people operate a blog that is mainly a hobby and not for profit, especially if you are linking back to the original article.

My take on Righthaven is that the buy the copywrite after some one has posted it and then sue, but this should be illegal because the infringement happened before Righthaven had the copywrite.

as far as i am aware, it is the responsibility of the copyright holder to insure copyrighted material clearly states such in or around the digital work.

any images i post, which i do a lot, are found using google images. there are no copyright notices on any of them

if a copyright holder does not want their images in the google cache, then they should state it as such in their robots.txt file and google would not grab them. if they did not, how is it the fault of google's users?

Wow! That’s why I only host porn on my website.

The Righthaven people probably thought:

“So he copied the picture from a newspaper instead of drawing it himself? Doesn’t sound very “artistic” to me; sue him.
