If you are a mom and pop blogger, getting hit with a Federal lawsuit out of the blue has got to be terrifying. Many of those being sued by RightHaven LLC do not have deep pockets and are afraid that they will lose everything. Clayton Cramer reported that some of those being sued will probably have to declare bankruptcy.
Fortunately, its seems that the victims and those opposed to RightHaven's tactics have started to organize. Realizing that information is key, a new website has been established called RightHavenLawsuits.com. They say their mission "is dedicated to gathering together and posting for the public information about Righthaven LLC." They have links to some of the lawsuits as well as articles on RightHaven LLC.
Another website called RightHaven Victims lists every individual, business, and blog that has been sued by RightHaven LLC for copyright violations. It encourages those sued to work together to share information and to unite to form a collective front against RightHaven LLC. They realize that one of the keys to RightHaven's success will be the use of a "divide and conquer" strategy. This website is also sharing defense strategies being used by the defendants.
A Facebook page has been established called "stop the LVRJ/RIGHTHAVEN witch hunt!" In addition to providing resources for those being sued, they are also seeking to publicize that RightHaven LLC did not give any sort of "cease and desist" or take-down letter before suing. While not required in most cases, it is the common practice to do so.
Finally, law professor Eric Johnson has a new post on his blog, Blog Law Blog, on the RightHaven LLC lawsuits. The post, entitled "Righthaven's Innovation? Stooping Lower", sets forth his opinion on what they are doing.

So... on the one hand you can post thousands of classified documents and nobody can do anything about it; but on the other you can post excerpts of publicly published documents and get sued?
Must be Amerika already...
Bob, we have received nearly 300 DMCA take down notices during the last 10 years or so and we’ve fully complied with each and every one of them. The reason for the registration is so that a publisher can find the name and address where he should send the notice. Obviously, not one of these 300 or so publishers had a problem finding our address since it’s been posted on every page of FR since 1998 and my email address is posted on the home page as well. Also, we are registered with gkg.net and Righthaven is very much aware of that since they use that source to unethically spring frivolous lawsuits on people with no prior notice and threaten to have their registered domain names transferred to them. Sorry, pal, but you and Gibson will learn that we are very much covered by DMCA and we fully comply with the law in all respects. The congress set up DMCA to make the resolution of these nickel dime hassles routine and not matters to clog up the federal courts. We demonstrably comply with the intent of the law as enacted by congress, Righthaven does not. Call your good buddy Steve Gibson back and let him know that you and he are both losers. And while you’re at it, get a life. Can’t believe you have the gall to post on FR after you’ve joined Gibson/Righthaven against us. You really are an ass.
Get the hell off FR, you asshole!
Zot!
I bet he J stands for JACKWAGON

Man, did it hurt when you stepped on your d*ck like that?
You are a damn fool and what Mr. Robinson said.
And I will kick in $100 to any lawsuit fund if necessary.
Now that's a ZOT long in the making.

Thank you for giving him the boot. He was the most arrogant ahole I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with here. You’ve made my night.....
By the way, how’s that fifty gallon jug of Hatorade going for you?
You know, the one you chug every time the subject of Sarah Palin comes up?
finally. In watching this back and forth for months, I gotta say that it has been a long exercise with a lot of patience by the site owner. thanks.
