If you are a mom and pop blogger, getting hit with a Federal lawsuit out of the blue has got to be terrifying. Many of those being sued by RightHaven LLC do not have deep pockets and are afraid that they will lose everything. Clayton Cramer reported that some of those being sued will probably have to declare bankruptcy.
Fortunately, its seems that the victims and those opposed to RightHaven's tactics have started to organize. Realizing that information is key, a new website has been established called RightHavenLawsuits.com. They say their mission "is dedicated to gathering together and posting for the public information about Righthaven LLC." They have links to some of the lawsuits as well as articles on RightHaven LLC.
Another website called RightHaven Victims lists every individual, business, and blog that has been sued by RightHaven LLC for copyright violations. It encourages those sued to work together to share information and to unite to form a collective front against RightHaven LLC. They realize that one of the keys to RightHaven's success will be the use of a "divide and conquer" strategy. This website is also sharing defense strategies being used by the defendants.
A Facebook page has been established called "stop the LVRJ/RIGHTHAVEN witch hunt!" In addition to providing resources for those being sued, they are also seeking to publicize that RightHaven LLC did not give any sort of "cease and desist" or take-down letter before suing. While not required in most cases, it is the common practice to do so.
Finally, law professor Eric Johnson has a new post on his blog, Blog Law Blog, on the RightHaven LLC lawsuits. The post, entitled "Righthaven's Innovation? Stooping Lower", sets forth his opinion on what they are doing.

Full auto 50. cal are NOT a standard response.
Who talked to the perimeter forces and when and what was said?
Do you really want to get into this?
Hey, Command South only had zombie deer and a bunch of empty pizza boxes.
And some grotesquely empty rolling noggins once the zombie deer got done.
*shudder*
Yeah. None of that stuff poses an immediate threat.
You’ve let delivery guys though worse stuff than that.
Just Sayin’...
Zombie deer?
And nobody pinged the keeper of the Zombie Ping List??
Bookmarking....
I've tried and tried to get added to that.. but whacking Zombies always got in the way.
But, it was anchovy, with onion!
Well, we kept creating zombie deer with the special coffee mix.
The anchovy aspect over rides all others.
You are absolved of any methods used in delivery prevention.
Well done.
Death to Anchovies!
I never did trust those anchovy.
Lol, I will wait for the housewive adminmodmins to chime in before we know for sure they didn’t beat JR to the zot button.
I’m never going to live that one down huh? You got a pinglist especially for housewive modmin threads?
....
The pizza place put out a press release stating that the missing pizza delivery teams had returned twelve hours after the alleged incident claiming they had misplaced their directions.
The teams stated that they had eaten the pizzas rather than let the pizzas get cold.
The pizza place has reinstated said delivery teams and they are standing by awaiting your order.
Oh deer.
On the bright side we still had the Fritos that started that whole mess. Those they didn’t taste the same after viewing all the carnage.
I really need to start reading my posts before I hit the button.
Absolutely.
People actually do that?
Tasty!
