The article does say its a firm that sues people for violating copyright protection.
Which I believe is baseless. “Fair use” is protected under the Constitution and I believe FR and bloggers would be able to prevail in court if sued.
Righthaven is one of those incompetent law firms that are essentially bill collectors. It gives me pleasure to see them going under.
JimRob had to pay these bastards off to get them to leave FR alone.
They’re actually worse than bill collectors. According to the article, Righthaven is not a law firm and acquires copyrights strictly for the right to sue infringers, so its standing to sue has been an issue in most of its contested cases. Apparently, they actually want people or blogs to post their copyrighted articles so they can sue them.
