Righthaven now suing individual message posters in internet forums and blogs

Can't sue someone who has fuck all anyway

is linking considered to be copyright infringement?

Critics and defense attorneys call the lawsuits frivolous and in some cases are fighting back, hitting Stephens Media and Righthaven with counterclaims charging abuse of the court system and the copyright law.

Most of the lawsuits are settled, apparently for under five figures, and Righthaven observers are waiting for Nevada federal judges handling the contested cases to issue rulings on several motions for dismissal.

So far, the only definitive ruling is one that went against Righthaven when a judge found a Las Vegas real estate agent was protected by the fair use doctrine in posting part of a Review-Journal story on his website.

At least the lawyers are happy.

Las Vegas copyright enforcement company Righthaven LLC is now suing individual message-board posters, not just website operators. Righthaven, which files copyright infringement lawsuits over unapproved online postings of material from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post, filed seven infringement lawsuits Tuesday and Wednesday in U.S. District Court for Nevada, lifting its lawsuit total since March to at least 203.

this is beyond ridiculous! That is like suing someone for talking about an article at a cafe!

Jeeze, next thing you know they will try and copyright the Constitution or the Miranda righs !


This is another example of what happens when the drive for economic profit is valued over all other human, and or natural rights.Does anyone need more proof that the ''free market'' is not the source of freedom,nor makes freedom possible ?

This will start a spoofed IP posting frenzy which they will never be able to stop.

The are trying to slow the youth movement against the corrupt. Never happen. This will add fuel.

Notice, "we aren't going after google groups"...
pfft, of course not, google & youtube, being owned by the British elite, and probably the founders of Righthaven.

Their scare tactics no longer work and only make things worse.

A+++ also add, economic profit is valued over logic, reasoning ability and compassion.

.

Haven't they got anything better to do with their time?

Laws have gotten too jumbled these days...its pile up after pile up with little loopholes and techniques to get anybody.

If God has a say, this world is going to start over soon with a clean slate.. Law will be written in our hearts instead.

No, their end game is to control free speech, control the information outflow and control the population. When the media was on the hands of several like minded institutions it worked, with web speed million sources, it doesn't. i do not believe they have the legal authority to do anything, but who knows what a judge will say, especially in the ninth circus
