#1 This is hilarious. If they go through with an auction of its copyrights, their parent company, who "sold but didn't sell" its copyrights to them is going to have a LOT of its material go black, as whoever buys the copyrights can refuse to let the parent company reuse their own archives.

#3 I'm gratified to see what appears to be a number of judges rake these guys over the coals for trying to abuse the legal system. It is at least a small affirmation that they hold the law and its intent somewhat sacred. Maybe.

Nonsense. If there was any "abuse", it was Righthaven's undercutting of the Intellectual Property Law industry. And for that, the judges aren't playing nice.

#5 I wonder how many millions of dollars each copyright will sell for. If it's high enough, perhaps journalists should start asking for way more money.

#6 "Righthaven says is aimed at dismantling the company"

Gee, Watson, what was your first clue?

What goes around, comes around.
