    Righthaven is suing Matt Drudge for infringement of a copyright they say they own from a Denver Post photo.

The plaintiff in the complaint against Matt Drudge is Righthaven LLC, not The Denver Post. If the Denver Post owns the copyright as they claim on their site then Righthaven lacks standing to be the plaintiff in the case or the Denver Post is misrepresenting who owns the copyright on their own site.
