5-Years Ago Righthaven Unleashed Copyright Trolling Operation; Gibson Still Practicing Law

Journalist Steve Green, formerly with the Las Vegas Sun and now with the Orange County Register, who worked tirelessly reporting the depths and doings and eventually the complete undoing of Righthaven LLC has written a long follow up five years to the day that Righthaven began its copyright trolling scheme. If you were a follower of this website from 2010 to 2012, back during Righthaven's "shakedown" lawsuit heyday, the memories will flood back ten fold, particularly Righthaven's numerous PR blunders and the key cases that defeated Righthaven and ultimately threw them into bankruptcy.

Some of Righthaven's worst PR blunders included filing their typical "without warning" lawsuits against a woman who had a blog that was written from a cat's point of view and mistakenly posted a Review-Journal article about a bird sanctuary. There was also the suit filed against U.S. Senate Candidate Sharron Angle. After being sued for posting an R-J editorial and story to her website, the R-J endorsed Angle. Righthaven's tide-turning PR blunder, however, was a lawsuit against 20-year old Brian Hill, a blogger from North Carolina who suffers a mild form of autism, diabetes and hyperactive disorder.

At Chapman forum, 'Righthaven' copyright outfit still controversial five years later

It was five years ago -- March 13, 2010 -- that Righthaven LLC launched its assembly line-like copyright lawsuit campaign over newspaper content. Righthaven is long gone, but the controversies it stirred up linger today.
Righthaven was a Las Vegas company created to sue over material copied without authorization from news websites, its partners being the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post. Between March 2010 and June 2011 it filed 275 lawsuits over content from those papers in federal courts in Nevada, Colorado and South Carolina.
Righthaven was a company, not a law firm, and it ultimately fell apart after defense attorneys discovered it lacked authority to file the lawsuits.

New Convoluted Legal Situation Involving Righthaven Intensifies; Awaiting On Courts

In yet another "convoluted legal situation involving the Las Vegas-based copyright lawsuit filer," writes VEGAS INC, the struggle of who really controls Righthaven LLC lurches forward. After the court-appointed receiver, attorney Lara Pearson, moved to fire CEO Steve Gibson last week as well as ordering attorney Erik Syverson to stop acting on behalf of the "original" Righthaven, Syverson filed documents with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday on behalf of the entity anyway.

According to the same news article, Syverson will stand by, awaiting guidance from the court on how to proceed. Whether Judge Phillip Pro (who approved the receivership) or the 9th Circuit will resolve this new complicated situation involving Righthaven and Steve Gibson is unclear. What's at stake in this appeals case is if Righthaven had standing to sue Wayne Hoehn, who posted a Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial in full on a message board, and if Hoehn's posting was protected by fair use.

Righthaven Founder Objects to Termination; Seeks to Remove Receiver's Attorney

Independently, as addressed more fully, infra, I remain the manager of the manager of Righthaven and I should have the right to hire or terminate Righthaven counsel. By way of this Objection, I hereby seek the Court’s recognition that I have the right to terminate, and so terminate, Mr. Lichtenstein’s so-called representation of Righthaven and that any further act undertaken by Mr. Lichenstein will not be undertaken with proper authority. Indeed, Mr. Lichtenstein’s confusing appearance before the Ninth Circuit should subject both the Receiver and Mr. Lichtenstein to liability. Mr. Lichtenstein should have known that the Receiver did not follow this Court’s rules in having himself employed as counsel and therefore his appearance before the Ninth Circuit is per se malpractice and unprofessional. Mr. Lichtenstein should also have known that I remain the manager of the manager of Righthaven and therefore retain authority to conduct the affairs of Righthaven (which, as made clear, merely constitute the interface with appellate counsel to conduct the appeal as Righthaven has literally no other activity).

After Firing Steve Gibson, Receiver Gains Representation by First Amendment Attorney

News about Righthaven continues to pick up. It began at the start of the week when the court-appointed receiver, Lara Pearson, fired CEO Steve Gibson and his wife, formerly the COO, Raisha “Drizzle” Gibson after learning that Gibson had engaged an attorney to write a 30-page reply brief (6-months after it was due) for Righthaven v. Hoehn. That case is currently under review by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Righthaven had virtually ceased functioning by the end of September 2011, and by the time Pearson was appointed in December, Righthaven was immersed in debt.

See: Receiver’s Report to Court: Termination of Steve Gibson

In Monday's court filing, Pearson also attached a letter she sent to Gibson that stated Pearson "will be taking legal action against you for your ultra vires acts as well as for claims of legal malpractice, which led the company to its current state." On Friday, it was announced that First Amendment attorney Allen Lichtenstein, a private attorney and general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, signed on in the capacity as a private attorney to represent the receiver in an effort to put an end to Gibson pursing its appeals. This is not Lichtenstein's first interaction with Righthaven.

Nonprofit Asks Appeals Court to Dismiss Case; No News from State Bar; More Updates

Last week, VEGAS INC reported the following notable updates in the Righthaven saga:

• The Center for Intercultural Organizing (CIO), an Oregon-based nonprofit, asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss its case given that Righthaven has been stripped of its copyrights and can no longer participate. The case involves the nonprofit reposting an entire R-J story to its website.
• The State Bar of Nevada continues to work on an inquiry concerning grievances filed by unidentified parties against Righthaven's bluetooth headset sporting CEO Steven Gibson and two other attorneys that formerly worked for his copyright trolling operation. The grievances were opened in January.
• Stevens Media LLC and Righthaven defendant Democratic Underground settled a motion requesting that Stevens Media pay $774,000 in attorney's fees to the Democratic Underground's attorneys. The settlement was disclosed May 25, but its terms have not been revealed.

EFF Replies to Most Recent Scapegoating Attempt by Righthaven CEO, Steve Gibson

On Monday, Steve Gibson filed a response to the order seeking to find Righthaven in contempt of court and imposing sanctions in the case of defendant Thomas DiBiase. In the filing, Gibson claimed that as CEO of Righthaven, he was 1.) Not party to the case, 2.) Had not been receiving notice of the happenings in the case and 3.) Had "complete legal inability" to address DiBiase's demands. Gibson then blamed the mess on Righthaven's incommunicado attorney Shawn Mangano.

The DiBiase response, submitted Thursday by attorney Kurt Opsahl of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, sheds light on Gibson's filing, starting with Gibson's excuses and misplaced blame.

Mr. Gibson offers excuses and proposals for further delays, none of which explains Righthaven’s ongoing failure to be "reasonably diligent and energetic in attempting" to accomplish what this Court ordered ... Mr. Gibson proposes that the Court place responsibility solely on its counsel of record, Shawn Mangano. Given that, as even Mr. Gibson acknowledges, Mr. Mangano is nowhere to be found, this is actually a request for Righthaven, and Mr. Gibson, to avoid all accountability ... Mr. Gibson, as CEO and the principal officer of Righthaven, has to comply with this Court’s order and purge the ongoing contempt of court.

Several pages into the EFF's reply, referring to Gibson's claim that Righthaven lacks the funds to order the debtor's examination transcript, one learns that Gibson was "obliquely referencing himself" when he stated in his filing there is "no reason to believe that one or more of Righthaven’s parents would not continue to make capital contributions." Opsahl states in the reply that bank statements show that Gibson has been "personally funding Righthaven to keep its balance just above zero."

Moreover, Mr. Gibson admits that Righthaven had access to sufficient funds to pay Mr. Mangano for months after its revenue dried up, asserting "[u]p until Mangano became totally incommunicado [mid-February 2012], Righthaven fulfilled all payment obligations to Mangano." ... Righthaven’s bank records show that Mr. Mangano was being paid regularly in installments of around $2,475.00 ... The money Righthaven will now save by not paying Mr. Mangano is more than enough to pay for the transcript of a half-day debtor’s examination. Mr. Gibson’s deliberate decision not to use funds available to Righthaven does not constitute "impossibility."

The Captain is Last Off the Ship

Opsahl then spells out -- 101 style -- what Gibson's responsibilities as chief officer are, "Righthaven should either hire a new attorney or Mr. Gibson should return to this litigation as counsel of record." Next, he pulls apart Gibson's logic of having the "complete legal inability" to represent Righthaven. Also, Gibson "voluntarily chose this attorney as his representative in the action," writes Opsahl, "he cannot now avoid the consequences of the acts or omissions of this freely selected agent."

In conclusion, "there is no question that Righthaven has not complied with the Court's order," states the reply, nor is there question that Gibson refused to accept responsibility to comply as well, despite being the sole person in charge of Righthaven. Given this, the $500 per day sanction, payable by both Mr. Gibson and Righthaven, is the "only way to coerce compliance," writes Opsahl. The reply noted that the daily coercive sanctions fee begin upon entry of the February 7 contempt order.

Now then, when Mangano will emerge from "nowhere to be found" incommunicado land, is certainly a burning question left unanswered.

In Fighting New Sanction, Righthaven CEO Steve Gibson, Blames Outside Counsel

In Fighting Sanction, Righthaven CEO Complains of Foes' 'Ambush Tactics'

The CEO of copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC is complaining that he's the victim of "unconscionable" ambush tactics by opposing attorneys in one of several lawsuits filed by the company.
Steven Gibson, who is facing a fine of $500 per day over Righthaven's failure to turn over financial information in the case, says the attorneys are unfairly trying to pin the blame on him for not producing the data. He claims the responsibility lies not with him or the company but with an attorney who has represented Righthaven, Shawn Mangano.

See a related blog post at Gametimeip.com, A 'Bike Lesson' From Dickinson Wright Partner (And Righthaven CEO) Steve Gibson On IP Monetization, that digs deeper into the How To guide of everything not to do when starting your own IP monetization outfit. Now all eyes are on the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and how they will respond to Gibson's most recent scapegoating attempt. It will be interesting to see if Mangano re-emerges as well. Mangano has been unreachable for weeks.

Nevada State Bar Opens Grievance Files Concerning Gibson and Two Other Attorneys

Three Attorneys Face Righthaven Inquiry by State Bar

The State Bar, which regulates attorneys, has since as early as the Fall of 2010 received complaints from unidentified parties about Righthaven and has been watching Righthaven’s litigation campaign work its way through the courts.
The Bar this week opened grievance files concerning Gibson, an attorney, and former Righthaven attorneys Jodi Donetta Lowry and J. Charles Coons. The attorneys have been asked to respond to the grievance issues by Jan. 31.

Tick Tock, Gibson is Due in Court Today; Tick Tock, The Auction Counts Down

UPDATE: We heard through the grapevine later this evening that neither Gibson or his wife appeared in court today. The latest VEGAS INC article contains more information, including some words from one of the attorneys defending Wayne Hoehn, J. Malcolm DeVoy IV, of Randazza Legal Group. "You’d think members of the bar -- who are officers of the court -- would give the orders of the court greater weight," said DeVoy. The debtor's examination has been rescheduled for Monday morning.

It was noted in a December blog post that U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Johnston ordered Steve Gibson and his wife Raisha "Drizzle" Gibson to appear in court on January 5, 2012 to provide testimony under oath about the location of Righthaven's assets. Today is January the 5th and we are waiting on word of today's outcome.

Domain Name Auction is Over Tomorrow

In a separate blog post, it was noted that Righthaven's domain name auction (righthaven.com) was slated to run through tomorrow, January 6th at 2:15pm CST. Currently, the bid continues to sit at $1,900. The sale of the domain name hopes to raise money to cover part of the $60,000+ in legal fees owed to defendant Wayne Hoehn.

Righthaven Refuses to Turn Over its Copyrights to Court-Appointed Receiver for Auction

UPDATE 12/20/11: As expected, Righthaven filed an emergency appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today to block the auction of its copyrights. Also as expected, the filing threw a few more burning trees into the bonfire raging between Righthaven and attorneys representing Wayne Hoehn, who seek $63,720 for his legal expenses after defeating Righthaven's copyright infringement case.

12/19/11
Court Asked to Step in After Righthaven Refuses to Comply with Auction

After Righthaven didn't comply by the close of business Monday, the deadline for compliance, Hoehn’s attorneys at Randazza Legal Group filed a new motion for a “writ of body attachment” asking that Righthaven CEO Steven Gibson and his wife, Raisha “Drizzle” Gibson, a Righthaven officer, be forced to appear in court by U.S. Marshals so they can execute the copyright transfers to the receiver at the threat of being held in contempt of court.

The new motion by Hoehn's attorneys reminds Righthaven:

Hoehn’s request for a writ of body attachment should come as no surprise to Righthaven, as it was specifically requested as a condition of non-compliance in the Defendant’s Motion (Doc. # 62 at 9). Also known as a writ of civil commitment or civil arrest, a writ of body attachment commands the U.S. Marshals to apprehend the people the Court wishes to bring before them in civil cases. Once executed, the U.S. Marshals will present the apprehended parties to the Court.

Also, on Friday, an attorney for Righthaven, Shawn Mangano, failed to appear during a telephone hearing for a case involving defendant Leland Wolf in the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. The two attorneys representing the defendant, Andrew Contiguglia in Denver and Marc Randazza in Las Vegas, did appear for the telephone hearing and were not pleased by Mangano's absence.

Judge Allows Auction of Copyright Assets; Gibson and His Wife Must Appear in Court

U.S. District Judge Philip Pro signed an order today granting defendant Wayne Hoehn's motion to appoint a reciever to recover his legal costs. The receiver will be empowered to hold an auction to sell off Righthaven's copyrights, which may be Righthaven's only assets. The order was granted due to Righthaven's failure to file a response to the motion. In a related matter, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Johnston ordered Steve Gibson and his wife Raisha "Drizzle" Gibson to appear in court on January 5, 2012 to provide testimony under oath about the location of Righthaven's assets.

Pursuant to the Application of Wayne Hoehn for issuance of this Court’s Order Scheduling Judgment Debtor Examination before the magistrate judge under LR IB 1-9, and production of documents, and good cause shown, it is hereby ORDERED that Steven A. Gibson and Raisha “Drizzle” Y. Gibson shall personally appear before this Court on Jan. 5, 2012. Both representatives of Righthaven shall be examined with regard to the extent and location of Righthaven’s assets that may be available to Hoehn for the purpose of satisfying this Court’s Judgment (Doc. # 44) and Writ of Execution (Doc. # 59).

Attorneys representing Hoehn, Randazza Legal Group, seek to collect over $60,000 in legal fees awarded to them. Righthaven is currently in the hole for over $225,000 in legal fees and sanctions.

Righthaven CEO Steven Gibson and His Wife (Chief Admin Officer) Asked to Explain Finances

Attorneys Seek to Examine Righthaven CEO about Company Finances

Attorneys trying to collect $63,720 in fees from Righthaven LLC stepped up the pressure Sunday, asking a court to require that Righthaven’s CEO and his wife be ordered to appear for an examination about the company’s finances.
--snip--
Hoehn’s attorneys at Randazza Legal Group of Las Vegas, in a Sunday U.S. District Court filing, said that in order to assist the Marshals Service in locating Righthaven assets, they want copies of Righthaven’s financial records and a judgment debtor’s examination of Righthaven CEO Steven Gibson, a Las Vegas attorney; and a woman they say is his spouse, Raisha Y. "Drizzle" Gibson, identified as Righthaven’s chief administrative officer.

'Quadrillions' of Dollars in Potential Recovery Wrote Steve Gibson & J.D. Lowry in 2006

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. Multiplying estimates of online infringement by the statutory damages available under the Copyright Act, Mr. Gibson saw 'quadrillions' of dollars in potential recovery. In short, he saw a path to quick riches, if only the copyright owners could be persuaded to file suit," the EFF filing said.

Righthaven Used as a Political Weapon; A Private Tattle Tailer's Letter Badly Misfires

Righthaven Used as a Political Weapon

I received this email from one of the top lawyers defending Righthaven victims and it illustrates how low some will stoop to bring people down. He said this is a good example of how copyrights are being used to limit free speech, free enterprise and legitimate fair use and wanted me to share it.

Dear <lawyer redacted>
I am writing you this letter because there have been clear violations of Stephens Media property by two web sites. The owners of these two web sites knew that property was being violated but still allowed articles to be published. The web sites are as follows:
<websites redacted>
There have been threads posted by both sites that have criticized the actions of Righthaven and their policy of protecting copyright material. I would strongly urge that your law firm launch an immediate investigation and if warranted a lawsuit.
Thank you
A Concerned Citizen

A Little Backdrop

The first public tattle tailer to Righthaven was Las Vegas free-lance journalist Steve Friess who questioned in an August 23, 2010 blog post if Righthaven would sue Sharron Angle after finding parts of Review-Journal articles posted to her campaign website. In a separate post on the same day, Friess wrote about a conversation with Steve Gibson who said "I don't have time to review every case I receive a call about." Gibson then trumpeted the fact that his firm hasn't been "ideologically driven."

Only Righthaven knows how many private tattle tailers there have been, and of those, which were ideologically driven. One would imagine that there have been numerous "tattle tail" letters sent to Righthaven by ideological and business competitors. Possibly so numerous that some are now sending them to attorneys simply connected to Righthaven lawsuits at all, not even knowledgeable enough to know how badly they misfired -- sending it to an attorney defending a Righthaven victim!

Righthaven Runs Afoul The Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct

It appears that Righthaven could be violating many of the provisions contained in the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct. Many have already been raised by lawyers representing Righthaven victims, particularly the "unauthorized practice of law", but there are many other rules that Righthaven may also be brought to account.

Rule 5.4. Professional Independence of a Lawyer.

(a) A lawyer or law firm shall not share legal fees with a nonlawyer, except that:

(1) An agreement by a lawyer with the lawyer’s firm, partner, or associate may provide for the payment of money, over a reasonable period of time after the lawyer’s death, to the lawyer’s estate or to one or more specified persons;

(b) A lawyer shall not form a partnership with a nonlawyer if any of the activities of the partnership consist of the practice of law.

(c) A lawyer shall not permit a person who recommends, employs, or pays the lawyer to render legal services for another to direct or regulate the lawyer’s professional judgment in rendering such legal services.

(d) A lawyer shall not practice with or in the form of a professional corporation or association authorized to practice law for a profit, if:

(1) A nonlawyer owns any interest therein, except that a fiduciary representative of the estate of a lawyer may hold the stock or interest of the lawyer for a reasonable time during administration;

(2) A nonlawyer is a corporate director or officer thereof or occupies the position of similar responsibility in any form of association other than a corporation; or

(3) A nonlawyer has the right to direct or control the professional judgment of a lawyer.

Under the Strategic Alliance Agreement (SAA) agreement between Righthaven and Stephens Media appears to be violating section (a) by sharing 50% of proceeds with Stephens Media as well as giving Stephens Media veto power over who is sued which would violated section (c) and (d).

In Righthaven's lastest court filing regarding possible sanctions they accuse subbordinate "former inhouse counsel" as being responsible for failing to disclose Stephens Media as an interested party but according to the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct it is managment that is responsible when failings occur.

Rule 5.1. Responsibilities of Partners, Managers, and Supervisory Lawyers.

(a) A partner in a law firm, and a lawyer who individually or together with other lawyers possesses comparable managerial authority in a law firm, shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the firm has in effect measures giving reasonable assurance that all lawyers in the firm conform to the Rules of Professional Conduct.

(b) A lawyer having direct supervisory authority over another lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the other lawyer conforms to the Rules of Professional Conduct.

(c) A lawyer shall be responsible for another lawyer’s violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct if:

(1) The lawyer orders or, with knowledge of the specific conduct, ratifies the conduct involved; or

(2) The lawyer is a partner or has comparable managerial authority in the law firm in which the other lawyer practices, or has direct supervisory authority over the other lawyer, and knows of the conduct at a time when its consequences can be avoided or mitigated but fails to take reasonable remedial action.

Since Righthaven CEO Steve Gibson claims to employ "The top lawyers in the nation", you would think they would have spotted many of these problems early or could it be they never considered the SAA would become public nor did they imagine the resistance they would receive from victims?

State Bar of Nevada Investigates Righthaven and Its Attorneys; Updates on Denise Nichols Case

State Bar Still Reviewing Grievances Against Righthaven

A federal judge’s comment that Las Vegas-based copyright enforcer Righthaven LLC likely engaged in deceitful and dishonest conduct has not gone unnoticed by the State Bar of Nevada.
The State Bar regulates attorneys. Since September or earlier, it has been looking into multiple grievances involving Righthaven and its CEO, Las Vegas attorney Steven Gibson. Righthaven says it has obtained copyrights from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post and has filed 274 infringement lawsuits over those copyrights since March 2010.
Gibson hasn’t responded to a request for comment on the State Bar inquiry.

See: Article in full

The VEGAS INC article quotes some whoppers from Eric Johnson, associate professor of law at the University of North Dakota. Such as, "This is strong language for a federal court. It's the kind of stuff that, if you are on the wrong side of it, would likely cause all the blood to rush to your stomach."

Wired Interview Shows a Defiant Steve Gibson

Righthaven CEO Steve Gibson gave a very defiant response in a telephone interview given to WIRED. Gibson said “As of today, there should be no question whether Righthaven has standing,”. Oh has something changed? Is Gibson referring to the changes that Judge Hunt has already deemed "Cosmetic". Is Righthaven and Stephens Media again altering the agreement? If so it would show continued bad judgment on Stephens Media's part that has already subjected themselves to potentially massive liabilities over Righthaven.

Gibson also says they may refile suits that are either dismissed over standing or if any of those that have settled are vacated. Gibson is being defiant at a very bad time when a Federal Judge has ordered his company to explain why they should not be subject to sanctions. My guess is that these pronouncements by Gibson is not going to impress the judge.

Sorry Steve Gibson but you are no longer in a position to threaten people anymore. The Jig is up. Game Over. Checkmate. You lose!

Stephens Media Hires New York Power Lawyer To Clean Up Righthaven Mess

Stephens Media has hired New York power lawyer Dale Cendali, a partner at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP in New York, specializing in copyright law to help clean up the mess caused by their ill-conceived arrangement with Righthaven. Has Stephens media lost faith in Stephen Gibson and his band of misfit lawyers by hiring someone from the outside?

You also have to wonder why a lawyer with presumably an impeccable reputation would risk it all by associating herself with Righthaven? They must be paying her a lot and as Steve Green from VEGAS INC speculates most likely far more than Righthaven can ever recoup from these lawsuits.

Righthaven CEO Gibson Makes Striking Contradictions

In the latest Wired story Steve Gibson, in a phone interview, contradicts both the agreement with Stephens Media and Righthaven's own lawsuit court filings.

“We gave them exclusive licenses,” he said of Stephens Media of Las Vegas. “But that does not give them title. We own the underlying copyright.”

However in the court filings:

Righthaven holds the exclusive right to reproduce the Work.

Righthaven holds the exclusive right to prepare derivative works based upon the
Work.

Righthaven holds the exclusive right to distribute copies of the Work

And the agreement with Stephens Media:

It says Stephens Media shall retain “an exclusive license to exploit the Stephens Media assigned copyrights for any lawful purpose whatsoever and Righthaven shall have no right or license to exploit or participate in the receipt of royalties from the exploitation of the Stephens Media assigned copyrights other than the right to proceeds in association with a recovery.”
