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.

Instructions courtesy of former Righthaven defendant Clayton Crammer of the Armed Citizen. We adapted his post on December 5, 2010 to include MediaNews Group properties.

Note: If you have problems with the Long List, please try the Short List instead. The latter includes just the central threats and may run smoother in BlockSite.
