Karmic justice visited upon Righthaven (again)
2011-08-17
Righthaven, the Las Vegas copyright troll, won't be collecting any damages from a man it once branded as a copyright infringer but instead must pay the man's legal fees of $34,045....

#9  They ought to be in jail for extortion.

There might be something in RICO, Pollyandrew said, in character.

Yep.

#7  A class action suit would be best, if it would include the deep pocket backers.

#6  That extortion jail would be crowded, and would include at least two houses of Congress and a quarter of the Washington, D.C. metro area.

#4  I am waiting for someone to claw back some settlement money. As an example for everyone else. Just saying...

#3  They were never planning on actually going to court on these claims. They just bludgeoned small guys (without legal defense teams) like Fred who had to make a hard financial choice whether to settle or risk losing everything. Fred made the smart, but painful, decision, IMHO. It would be nice to strip these bastards of everything they own, and their ability to bleed somebody else in the future - take their law license.

#1  Another money quote: The bottom line for Righthaven is that so far it has not won a single lawsuit of 275 filed since 2010.
