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.

Righthaven's Domain Name Resolves to GoDaddy; WhoIs Shows New Information

UPDATE: A new article by VEGAS INC helps clarify the the WhoIs information. The Registrant is the court appointed receiver, attorney Lara Pearson of the Rimon Law Group. Pearson hopes to have the domain name up for auction before Christmas. So, what would a buyer do with this domain? 

One outside attorney representing Righthaven, Shawn Mangano, apparently didn't place much stock in his recent "emergency" appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block the auction of its copyrights. (See: Righthaven.com) The auction of Righthaven's intellectual property grows near.

  1. Interesting that the domain was moved to Go Daddy. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) will enable Righthaven imitators, but on a much, much larger scale. Go Daddy supported SOPA. Then they supported a modified SOPA. Now they don't support SOPA. Will they eventually oppose SOPA?
