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.

Another Judge Threatens to Dismiss Righthaven Copyright Suits
A fifth federal judge is threatening to dismiss newspaper copyright infringement lawsuits filed by Righthaven LLC.

U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks in Reno on Tuesday gave Righthaven 10 days to show cause why 10 suits he is handling should not be dismissed for lack of standing.
These cases are against Chris Brown Web Network, Fullthrottletv.net, Jeffrey L. Nelson, Hush-Hush Entertainment Inc., Wehategringos.com, Charles Coker, Gunner’s Alley LLC, Computer Services One LLC, John Kirk and Bob Sieber.

Also, it appears Righthaven failed to file a response to Judge Hunt's order to show cause why it should not be sanctioned. What does it mean to fail to file this response?

    "A lawyer for copyright troll Righthaven is declaring under penalty of perjury that an update to his computer’s browser prohibited him from electronically submitting a legal filing by an angry judge’s deadline. And it was no ordinary filing U.S. District Judge Roger Hunt was demanding."
