Only if we have the wherewithal to fight off another lawsuit. We don’t.

"Stephens Media never should have authorized Righthaven to file this suit in the first place, and should never have wasted our client's and the court's time with its attempts to keep Righthaven's frivolous claim alive for the last year." Hmmmm Does Stephens Media have a potential to be sued for this? (Like in being forced to pay out money?) Verrrrry Interesting. That out to cool their zeal for such scams.

As much as this pains me to say:
Kudos to DUH for taking on Righthaven.

To kick those bottom feeders you’d need a submarine to find them and a torpedo to clear away the slime.

They were careful to craft, into the summary judgement, an agreement for confidentiality of contract data related to, but not limited to: Righthaven. I wonder if those documents demonstrate a liability? Or worse yet, a potential RICO violation involving lawyers, Righthaven, and Stephens?!?! Just speculation on my part, but it does make one wonder......

Righthaven will be filing for bankruptcy soon if they haven’t already. The sheriff has already been sent to seize their assets to satisfy claims against them. Turns out their bank account only had a couple thousand in it. I suspect they’ll be trying to take the CEO’s personal assets next. Sincerely doubt we’ll be seeing any of our money back.

Stevens media will probably slither out of any responsibility.

Doubtful but I have no idea of the terms FR agreed to but usually a prior settlement isn’t impacted by future judgements. The settlement is a contractual agreement and would often cost as much to fight, even under these circumstances, as the settlement cost. That’s how these trolls work; they find a magic middle-ground where it makes more financial sense to settle than to fight. It is legal blackmail. (If you don’t give us $X.XX, we’ll sue you and it will cost you twice as much in legal fees.)

Right is right, and in this case DU was right, even if they are DU.

That type of approach could put a lot of chips on the gambling table.
Media types do not like liabilities.
Only one way to break an “egg sucking dog”.

It ain’t over until Righthaven coughs up all the dough it cost for the attorneys that had to be hired.

Very sad they took us and others in their scam and we can’t get at least some money back.
The turkey’s have at least been stopped and hopefully the CEO’s personal assets will be taken.
