Judge orders failed copyright troll to forfeit "all" copyrights
|
Heh-heh-heh.... :-D
Righthaven, a copyright-troll law firm that failed in its attempt to make money for newspapers by suing readers for sharing stories online, was dealt a death blow on Tuesday by a federal judge who ordered the Las Vegas company to forfeit "all of" its intellectual property and other "intangible property" to settle its debts.
"The copyright registrations to more than 275 works are in Righthaven's name, can be transferred by this court, and can then be auctioned," the judge ruled.
Stephens Media will likely have to take them off its own website -- or license them from the future owner -- if it doesn't buy the rights back itself.
Yee-ouch! Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of @#$%^&*#.
