It must be noted that this month "might" mark a turning point for Righthaven in that they may have started targeting their "no warning" lawsuits at websites that fall on the edges or outside of fair use.

Righthaven Becoming Defiant, Ups the Anti on Demands

Righthaven is upping the anti by adding to its list of demands. Righthaven has demanded the domain names of those it has sued and a Nevada Federal Judge has already rejected that demand. Instead of complying or at least challenging the judges ruling they are now brazenly defying the judge by not only demanding domain names but in their latest lawsuit they are demanding every domain name the defendant may possess as well as any computers, hardware and software used in the alleged infringement.

Correction: Righthaven is not asking for all domains owned by the defendant but..

"Order the surrender to Righthaven of all hardware, software, electronic media and domains, including the Domain used to store, disseminate and display the unauthorized versions of any and all copyrighted works as provided for under 17 U.S.C. § 505(b) and/or as authorized by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 64"

Which is interesting because 17 U.S.C rule 505 does not have a section b, and even rule 505 mainly deals with attorney's fees.
