Dec 10 2010 | JerseyHighlander

Posted on 12/10/2010 11:46:46 AM PST by JerseyHighlander

Righthaven LLC -- a bottom feeding legal outfit -- has teamed up with the Las Vegas Review-Journal to sue 'mom and pop' websites, as well as nonprofit, political action, public interest, writers, and forum board operators for copyright violations. The strategy of Righthaven is to sue hundreds and thousands of these websites and counts on the fact that many are unfunded and will be forced to "settle out of court." All cases are being filed in a Nevada Federal Court and must be fought in this jurisdiction. You are not safe from Righthaven if you are out-of-state.

How do end users of web content protest against this copyright troll outfit?  We whip out the big First Amendment stick of Freedom of Association and boycott the RightHaven client media companies.   

This article will focus on Windows operating system and a freeware program called HostsMan. I will give an Apple OS X alternative called GasMask but I have not personally used that software.

Now Close the HostsOptimizer Window. MInimize the HostsMan window. You are done.

Hmm, I seems to have a problem downloading it... when I click either the installer OR the zip version, all I get is a blank page... NoScript has been set to allow from that site and the mirror site.

:/

Any ideas?

4chan is a site where there’s a bunch of people who cause trouble for people like Righthaven.

Directions for (X)Ubuntu?

I confess to being lazy -- once you're on my boycott lists there is no formal procedure to get off.

General Mills got on my Permanent Boycott list in the 90s. I forget why -- maybe it had something to do with wildlife or hunting or even farming. But then, "permanent" means I don't have to remember.

I don't buy GM products anymore.

My answer is... if you are using Linux you should know how to do this on your own.

My second answer is... http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/
You need all of the packages, you can then use the automated blocklists and input the specific righthaven blocklist with copy and paste into your HOSTS file.

I am lazy since I use linux mostly inside VMs, I copy my windows hosts file into a .txt and copy over to my VMs once in a while.

Yah, I can figure it out but am getting lazy. Maybe tomorrow.

Hi, was wondering WHY I'd want to install this, then I read through the months and months lists of "victims" of their lawsuits and saw some websites I frequent such as "Sweetnes & Light", Drudge and a few others.

Ok, I'm sold, these bastards have to be stopped and I'm installing on all my machines today. Thanks for the heads-up and instructions!

Your instructions in #22 above were flawless. Updated my PC and MAC OS machines in less than 5 minutes. Moving onto the rest of the machines in the house (Wife, kids, etc..)

Thanks for the detailed and accurate instructions!

I have signed on and I am blocking. Could you provide explicit instructions on how to block malicious sites as well?
