(OP) User ID: 1183319 United Arab Emirates 12/11/2010 05:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Copyright troll Righthaven sues for control of Drudge Report domain By Eriq Gardner | News aggregation impresario Matt Drudge is being sued for copyright infringement for reproducing a copyrighted photo along with a link to a story about airport security on the Las Vegas Review-Journal website. The plaintiff in the case is Righthaven, a company that's earned a reputation this year as a world-class copyright troll. Righthaven has sued nearly 200 parties this year alone. Righthaven has typically gone after those who post news excerpts of its partners, such as the Las Vegas Review-Journal, but pledged to be more discretionary after being handed a defeat in court by a judge who recently ruled that one of its targets had "fair use" to its work.

Quoting: DaJavooIf you are using Firefox ~ here's a plug-in that will keep the Righthaven media whores from being accessed from your machine ~ deny them revenue and keep your favorite forums from winding up on the get-sued list. It's easy ~ copy/paste the blocked sites file and import it into the Righthaven Blocker Add-on. [link to righthavenvictims.blogspot.com] Thanks DAJ |
