righthaven was one of those pay us or we will sue lawyer shops. That did things on a commission bases

They first started suing based on a transfered right to sue, which the courts recognized wasn't valid. You can't transfer just the right to sue for infringement of a copyright, you have to transfer the copyright and then sue for infringement.

Realizing that model they asked for the transfer of the copyright, or exclusive right (similar to what john Steele is doing)

Well they lost some key rulings, and were awarded damages (legal court cost, etc)

and they didn't pay that money, so now the transferred copyright have been given to a receiver to be sold.

Basically the copyright trolls cost their copyright customers their copyright.

Hence the ha ha.

Funny thing is many of the people using the sue them and we will take a percentage schemes are facing the same liability.

how stupid do you have to be that point out abuses of copyright law (suing for copyright you don't own, suing for fair use action, honeypotting your shit to fabricate infringement)

is supporting piracy.

Seriously why is fair use piracy.

And how many times to i have to say

Go after the people without a fair use right

before you get it thru your thick skull i don't support piracy at all.

I still think gideogallery's a nitwit, but I agree with righthaven being a bunch of fucktards and am glad their chickens are coming home to roost...these guys were sending C n D's to owners of sites that were linking to other sites and using a portion of the text from the originating site.
