Copyright Troll's Assets Targeted for Seizure
2011-09-21
The legal woes of Las Vegas-based copyright-trolling firm Righthaven continued Sunday when one of its creditors moved to seize its assets.

The development comes a week after the deadline passed for the former litigation factory to pay defendant Wayne Hoehn $34,000 in legal fees for successfully defending himself against a Righthaven copyright lawsuit. Righthaven had asked U.S. District Judge Philip Pro of Nevada to stay the fee award, saying it might slip into bankruptcy if forced to pay.

No stay was granted. So Hoehn's attorney, Marc Randazza, asked Judge Pro on Sunday to "authorize the U.S. Marshalls to execute Hoehn's judgment through seizure of Righthaven's bank accounts, real and personal property, and intangible intellectual property rights for levy, lien, auction or other treatment appropriate for satisfaction of Hoehn's judgment."

I keep hoping that they're forced to refund all the money they grabbed from blog owners.
