#3 Does Righthaven have a history of using this mechanism to have its copyrighted material removed from websites that use it, or do they just let it sit there because they really don't care about it?

If a company has a history of lax protection of its IP, I have been told that it's difficult to win court cases.

#4 Gorb:

Righthaven is specifically avoiding sites this mechanism.

And copyright suits are generally not defensible based on plaintif's dereliction. It's basically strict liability.

#5 More to come about Rantburg's status with Righthaven later. Fred has done the DMCA thing -- out of his pocket.

Pay attention to the top of the page --- click on that and send Fred 5 bucks, he needs it -- for one day, you can go without that expensive cup of coffee.

#9 The 31st is payday.

And far too late to make meaningful political donations.

Just sayin'.....
