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.

Defense Attorneys Step Up Criticism of Righthaven
"As early as 2006, Las Vegas attorney Steven A. Gibson wrote about what he saw as a gold mine untapped by copyright holders. 'Steven A. Gibson & J.D. Lowry, The Need for Speed: The Path to Statutory Damages in Copyright.

    In other words lets sue the world for more money than has ever been made in the history of mankind and more than ever will be made.

    Gibson is a piece of work and his over exuberance thinking copyright infringement was his ticket to riches was as grossly exaggerated as by quadrillions.
