Judge tells copyright troll Righthaven no, it's fair us
Righthaven, the company that scours the Web for copies of Las Vegas Review Journal stories and then sues the posters for mad cash and their domain names, has hit a small bump on the copyright lawsuit superhighway. A federal judge has just tossed one of its many cases because the posting was a "fair use."

Righthaven has no problem going after small-time operators (read our profile of the company and its tactics). In this case, it sued a Las Vegas realtor named Michael Nelson, who runs a small blog related to home ownership. Nelson put eight sentences of a 30-sentence Review Journal article in one of his posts, along with a link back to the paper; for this he was sued in federal court.
