Righthaven needs to be made to stop this frivolous BS.
What they are suing for is not CW infringement. Its them trying to pop small fish and earn a fast $5,000 here and there in settlements. Nothing more....
Just like the music folks suing parents over their kids sharing 5, 10 20 songs... demanding millions then settling for $1,000 a song payable to them in monthly installments, its BS.
Now if the LA Times is reposting their articles without credit that’s different, but bloggers and even posting here on FR it should be understood its not CW infringement. Also as a source link is posted with it, like here at FR.
This is how I think these evil SOB’s work. They try to bully people into a $10K settlement and to give up their web site.
Well these mega POS - recently lost a hearing where they tried to get the judge to not award legal fees to defendants if Righthaven lost. So if they lose a case - in most cases the defandant will get their legal fees back.
Righthaven said one defendant was running up their legal fees as a strategy to really stick it to Righthaven at the end of the case. For that mentality - they 1. Want people to settle. 2. They know they are on shaky legal ground.
Evil scum.
