Since the LVRJ has been known to violate other’s copyrights as well, perhaps the best defense is a good offense, by filing a whopper of a lawsuit against them directly, to teach them that “lawfare” by proxy is impolite.

I know this is a blog article, but given the importance of the information it contains, would it be possible to make an exception and move it to News for wider viewing?
Ping for later..........
What is this “RightHaven LLC” suing over?
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!"
On August 11, 2010 they also sued The Democratic Underground, so they can’t be that bad...

What RightHaven is doing has nothing to do with copyright infringement. This is a classic shakedown...a manufactured money grab.
How about considering a little - money and shove from blog besieged Senator Harry Reid... Why not ... shut down the blogs relative to NV - many many U.S. Internet blogs are scorching Harry ‘The Body’ Reid... a.k.a. “Dirty Harry’... give it thought...
They have sued many non-political sites as well and increasingly so.
I still think a Vegas Freeper convention with a massive public picketing and protest in front of the LVJR would be effective. Call for subscribers to cancel their subscriptions and for right-thinking advertisers to cancel their advertisers. Maybe get some national attention that way, too. Would be great to starve the beast. It’s dangerous business for buggy-whip makers to be attacking carriage builders.
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...
