These bottom feeders may be but the others sending out demands for $500-1000 aren't. They have nothing to lose if they don't file suits. If even one out of ten cough up the dough it's very profitable. I'm now dealing with two of them. One good thing about this DU case is that it has given a blueprint for responding to the copycats.

The financial woes of Las Vegas-based copyright trolling firm Righthaven worsened Saturday when one of the defendants it unsuccessfully sued for infringement asked a judge to allow seizure of the firm’s assets — with the help of the U.S. Marshals, if necessary.

The legal filing dropped moments after the Friday deadline expired for the litigation factory to pay defendant Wayne Hoehn $34,000 in legal fees. Hoehn successfully defended himself against a Righthaven copyright lawsuit seeking large damages for posting the entirety of a Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial to a small online message board.

Righthaven may be in trouble but the clones who sprung up aren't. They are not law firms and have no intention of suing anyone, they use copy and paste legal threats and though most webmasters are aware of the game it's still a PITA to deal with since any threat to a profitable website must be taken seriously until determined to be frivolous.

It is still fun to see things like this.

http://www.vegasinc.com/news/2011/nov/0 ... en-assets/

"Las Vegas copyright infringement lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC’s financial problems grew Tuesday when the federal court in Las Vegas commanded the U.S. Marshals Service to seize more than $63,000 in Righthaven assets to satisfy a creditor’s judgment and costs."

They're going to file for BK. They're history but the cottage industry of shaking down webmasters isn't.

I don't think people should be allowed to quote my entire post when they respond to it. I put a lot of work into my posts :?
