A federal judge in Las Vegas on Friday unsealed the agreement for prosecuting copyright infringement lawsuits between Righthaven LLC and Las Vegas Review-Journal owner Stephens Media LLC.
As expected, the Jan. 18, 2010, Strategic Alliance Agreement shows the previously-confidential deal calls for Stephens Media to receive a cut of Righthaven's lawsuit proceeds, minus costs. That cut is 50 percent.
Over the objections of Righthaven and Stephens Media, Chief U.S. District Judge for Nevada Roger Hunt issued an order allowing the public to see the agreement allowing for copyrights from Stephens Media to be assigned to Righthaven for lawsuit purposes.

Just as we suspected.
Federal Rico indictments coming soon?
Laurence Pulgram, an attorney representing Righthaven defendant the Democratic Underground in the case, said this agreement shows Righthaven only obtains limited rights — and this discovery may undermine all of Righthaven’s lawsuits over Review-Journal material.”
Well, lookie, lookie, lookie. Someone notify Jim.
How about them apples, Jim?
There is justice, you just need a lot of money. Did someone take Democratic Underground’s case for free?
I have a feeling these Rightheaven lawyers will end up in jail for lying in court papers. Judges already hate their guts, they just need an excuse.
According to the end of the article I believe this is the result of a counter-suit by the DU dummies. They are sick puppies, but you have to give them credit for fighting back against this crap.
I hope Jim gets his money back. I don’t blame him for settling, those bastards will drive you to the poor house.

“As many defendants in Righthaven actions have argued, Righthaven does not truly own the copyrights it sues over. Section 7.2 of the Agreement clearly states that “Righhaven shall have no right or license to Exploit or particopate 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.”
Furthermore, it seems that in Section 3.3, Stephens Media, not Righthaven retains the right to determine who gets sued. Section 8 gives Stephens Media the right to terminate any Copyright Assignment and then get a complete reversion of all rights. That doesn’t sound like a valid assignment to me.”
First came “barratry” and now comes “champerty.”

Me too.

Yea, we don’t say this much on this site, but: GO DU !!!!
...at least in this case.
It’s a small world. Laurence Pulgram & I grew up together - our parents were neighbors. He’s a good lawyer, they must have a case.

That’s a conspiracy.
Sounds like it. Jim should get a great big apology and his money back.
How are your babies. Mine are great. I had this video on the other day of a little dog playing the piano and singing. My white shepherd, Ike, was searching all around the speakers to find where the sound was coming from. LOL
We did it, though!
