Las Vegas copyright enforcement company Righthaven LLC on Wednesday filed its second copyright infringement lawsuit over Denver Post material, this time suing a big target: Drudge Report operator Matt Drudge.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for Nevada, charges a Nov. 18 Denver Post "illustration" called "Transportation Security Administration agents perform enhanced pat-downs" was posted without authorization the same day on the Drudge Report website as well as the drudgereportarchives.com site.
A court exhibit, however, indicates the illustration is actually a Denver Post photograph of a TSA officer patting down a passenger at Denver International Airport. Righthaven usually sues over unauthorized online postings of news stories, columns and editorials. Lately it has sued over alleged infringements involving graphics and, now, a photograph.
"Mr. Drudge has willfully engaged in the copyright infringement of the work," Wednesday's lawsuit charges.
A message for comment was left with Drudge, who was sued personally, as well as codefendant drudgereportarchives.com.
Righthaven since March has now filed at least 181 copyright infringement lawsuits against website operators and bloggers. It usually sues over Las Vegas Review-Journal material. An affiliate of Stephens Media LLC, owner of the Review-Journal, is an investor in Righthaven. Last week, Righthaven started suing over Denver Post material.

ROTFL!
That will teach her! Who the heck does she think she is anyway?
As usual I believe we can also blame politicians for allowing these vampires to feed off loopholes in poorly written laws.
Has this been investigated? It sure smells of manipulation by the Left. Establish a principle while making a profit then go for the real targets.
Dang looks like alot of newspapers are in bed with righthaven.
I love it. Righthaven wants out and the folks over at DU won’t let it go.
Hmmm... I wonder if they can do some digging for us.
Popcorn time?
Nah! Nation of Laws and all that crap. /sarc
“Copyright troll”—LOL.
Drudge only has one liner’s and links on his site...
Are they accusing him of posting a protected photo?
He’s a list and re-direct kinda site, so the point of origin should love the traffic!
Jim, are your Admin Mod’s spending a moment with each new story post to protect your interests? (rhetorical, for your consideration.)

Drudge and the Drudge Report are right-wing.
I thought that was enough for these leftist bass turds to know as they went law-suit happy.

Greed is bipartisan.
An issue where we find agreement with DU? Oh well, I guess we were allies with Stalin against Hitler, too.
