However, Righthaven did represent the Denver Post in lawsuits against publication of a photo of a TSA agent searching an airline passenger. The Denver Post is a member of the Media News Group which includes the San Jose Mercury News (http://www.medianewsgroup.com/consumers/Pages/OurBrands.aspx).
A couple of recent items regarding Righthaven are in the news. First, a Salt Lake City blogger reports that Media News Group has severed ties with Righthaven (http://oneutah.org/this-blog/medianews-group-severs-ties-with-righthaven/) and the second is that Righthaven foes are trying to have a Colorado judge end Righthaven lawsuits over Denver Post material (Foes seek decisive ruling against Righthaven). I'll post excerpts from both links shortly.

In August 2010, the company entered an agreement with WEHCO Media in Arkansas to pursue similar actions.[10] Later, it made a similar arrangement with Media News Group, publisher of the San Jose Mercury News.[3]
