Just one year ago, Las Vegas copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC was busy collecting settlement money from the unsuspecting recipients of its no-warning lawsuits.

The first-ever sale of a Righthaven asset to cover the expenses of a prevailing defendant concluded Friday, with Righthaven's website domain name, righthaven.com, being sold for $3,300 in an online auction.

The court-appointed receiver auctioning the assets of Righthaven didn’t immediately identify the winning bidder, so it wasn't immediately known how the bidder would use the name.

3. Good news.

It is the duty of all attorneys to call out and applaud the punishment of the bad attorneys among us, and those Righthaven folks are stinkers.

Nice to see justice being done.
