Creditors of Las Vegas copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC are licking their wounds after no one bid for Righthaven copyrights in an eBay auction that ended Saturday.

Through the auction, it was made clear that certain Righthaven copyrights have no real value, either because of the type of content they cover or because of legal uncertainties about their validity.

“It would seem that everything that Righthaven and its parade of idiots touch turns to garbage,” said Las Vegas attorney Marc Randazza, whose firm is trying to recover legal fees after beating back a Righthaven lawsuit on behalf of a client.

... The copyrights attracted no bids when offered initially at a minimum of $100 and then at the reduced rate of $50.

1. 2 thumbs up for "parade of idiots"

2. Add mine to that

3. And it goes without saying that some of those creditors were people sued by these crooks.

I suspected no one would get paid. I don't see any of these people being arrested for contempt of court, either, like poor people are being tossed into jail for debt.

I sure hope they haven't hidden all their 'real' assets to avoid judgments. And EFD should be paid for their work to protect DU and really, all websites in this case.

BTW, I bet Freeperville is smarting over paying out to these crooks when their copyrights were worthless. LOL.

5. Don't you think DU played the largest role in getting these assholes shut down?

I'm so proud of DU for standing up to these vultures, and helping the smaller enterprises in the process.

6. Perhaps if they included a box of donuts. LOL nt
