EFF Takes on Democratic Underground Case Against Righthaven
Submitted by Michael Nystrom on Mon, 09/20/2010 - 09:17From Steve Green at the Las Vegas Sun:
In what could be a showdown over Righthaven's lawsuit campaign, two attorneys for the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation have signed on to represent the Democratic Underground LLC in one of the high-profile Righthaven lawsuits.
Righthaven is a Las Vegas company that detects online infringements to Las Vegas Review-Journal stories, obtains copyrights to those stories and then sues over the retroactive infringements. At least 129 copyright infringement lawsuits had been filed through Friday. The owner of the Review-Journal has participated in the lawsuits by investing in Righthaven and providing it the copyrights at issue.
