Controversial copyright-enforcement company Righthaven—which has worked
with newspapers to file more than 250 copyright lawsuits against small
websites—has
not been faring well
in court lately, to say the least. The company is under fire from
multiple defendants, who claim that the company’s acquisition of
newspaper copyrights isn’t valid. Now Righthaven has hired a well-known
copyright lawyer from a top New York law firm. It’s a move that
suggests Righthaven is really feeling the heat, as Nevada judges grow
skeptical of its lawsuits.
