I request a halt in the incessant Righthaven posts. We get it. Righthaven blew it and they sux big balls. Ok already. Let them die a peaceful death and then drudge them up when you need an example in your "arguments" against extreme copyright.

Dude, with a blog centering on IP Copyright and Tech, you run with the news that are out there.
If A happens you write about A, if B happens .... you get the idea.
That said tho, i really don't mind the Righthaven news, just as i really didn't mind the ACS Law news back when that whole mess broke.
CopyTrolls getting what they have coming is almost worthy of firing up a cigar.

What makes us better than them is what we will do for them that they wouldn't do for us.

Woah, the guy's still in the US? I figured he'd dumped all the money he could lay his hands on into a Swiss bank account and fled the country ages ago.

Righthaven needs to watch this new documentary :)
Righthaven is a big Media conglomerate of the Bilderberg establishment.
Watch this documentary to know the truth!

Re: Who on earth would hire Steve Gibson?
Sloppy background check combined with an imaginative resume?

Righthaven will be held up as an example for all to see - why would you desire anything less?
Seriously, why do you request such leniency? Certainly Righthaven would have shown no mercy had they prevailed in their power lust adventure and in fact they were quite happy collecting the ill-gotten gains from their extortion racket.
No! - they should be hoisted upon their own petard

This is nice to see when I was beginning to wonder if the legal profession actually had system to punish rampant lawyers who disgrace the profession.

Dickinson Wright just wants cheap publicity and thinks THIS is the way to get it perhaps?
Obviously the rest of their employees must be piss-poor at their jobs if THIS is what they have to do to drum up trade.....
Either that or they plan to "fire" Gibson to try and make themselves look good (obviously planned ahead of time with a nice payoff to Gibson to go along with it).
Either that or Gibson will truly turn out to be a messiah in disguise as he takes down ANOTHER big law firm/IP conglomerate.
After all, he's killed Stephens Media (check the hilarious state of their finances/shares and secret cashflow issues these days!) and a few others, one more wouldn't go amiss......

So the Righthaven CEO and two Righthaven Lawyers walk into a bar...

Naaa, keep it going and make an example out of Righthaven. Let the world know that this kind of crap is not to be tolorated. Also let those idiot lawyers thinking or trying to pitch the idea be aware that this could happen to them.
