A website that lists the victims of Righthaven LLC 'shakedown' lawsuits that are causing irreparable harm to bloggers and advocacy websites.
Righthaven LLC -- a bottom feeding legal outfit -- has teamed up with the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Denver Post to sue mom and pop websites, advocacy and public interest groups and forum board operators for copyright infringement. The strategy of Righthaven is to sue thousands of these website owners, who are primarily unfunded and will be forced to settle out of court.
To date Righthaven has been ordered to pay $323,138 in legal fees and sanctions. |

Are they suing Domains By Proxy because they can't even find who owns the domain (much less the site)?
ReplyDeleteIf so, that's your hint to prevent them from suing you!
Nice one! Except that it may be that they are suing the privatization company (AKA larger than a single site owner) because they neglected to have a registered agent with the U.S. copyright office. Furthermore, you can bet your ass Domain by Proxy promptly turned over the name of the website holder.
