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.

To BobJ: “You really are an ass.”
Well said, Jim. Thanks.
IATZ
FINALLY! W00T!!!
LOL - don’t hold back, Jim. Tell us how you really feel!
;)
BOOYEAH!
Man I wish I had seen that particular Nuke/zot go off live!
Whoa. (tm Keanu Reeves)
Isn’t—er, wasn’t—Bob J one of the true old-timers around here?
BTW, Righthaven’s managed to do the impossible and bring together all sides of the political spectrum. Hey, liberals and conservatives disagree on almost everything, but everybody hates a scummy lawyer. This isn’t political...to Righthaven, these frivolous lawsuits are nothing but a “revenue stream.” Well, the LVRJ needs their “revenue stream” to become a dry creek bed until they ditch this insane idea and give Righthaven the boot.

You have had alot more patience with this guy than I would have.
I wonder ... will the housewife mod deliver pizza this time?
I doubt it.
We called the pizza place sixteen times that evening.
The moderator failed to notify the gate at the FR Complex.
Four pizza delivery teams were eliminated trying to deliver.
This was one of FR’s more shameful moments.
Thumbs up to the security teams but EPIC FAIL to the mod.
It was sad. I’m still sad about it.
Hey, the pizza guys weren’t my fault.
Honest.
Just because we coffee’d up some deer and set them loose and all, that’s no reason to bring an anchovy onion pizza when CLEARLY the order was for extra cheese and mushrooms.
So those pizza guys deserved becoming snacks for the zombie deer.
At least, that’s what happened at command south.
Talk to the rest of the crew about what happened at the other checkpoints.
