Righthaven may be up against a deep pockets that can fight back

[RamboLiberal]

The case involves a Righthaven lawsuit filed against Internet Brands Inc. of El Segundo, Calif. With cash on hand of $37.3 million as of June 30, second quarter revenue of $28 million and ownership of some 100 website brands, Internet Brands appears to have more than adequate financial resources to fight Righthaven.

Righthaven's Aug. 9 lawsuit against Internet Brands alleges someone posted a June 20 Review-Journal story on one of Internet Brands' websites, www.corvetteforum.com. The story covered the U.S. Senate race between Angle and Sen. Harry Reid.

Righthaven filed its 117th copyright infringement lawsuit, this one against the Las Vegas nonprofit Trauma Intervention Program of Southern Nevada Inc. and an official there, Gregory Robinson.

TIP of Southern Nevada arranges for volunteers to comfort distraught people at the scenes of accidents, fires, crimes, suicides and other deaths. The program has received wide praise from Metro Police, the Clark County Coroner's Office and others.

1. Hmm, maybe that's the way to fight them! Cases in point:

1. Everybody said that the lawyer who kept going after Luther "2 Live Crew" Campbell was being racist, but I said, "If he were, he'd go after a big fish like Eddie Murphy. But Murphy's on a big record label and Campbell isn't." Campbell hooked up with Atlantic Records, and the lawyer was never heard from again.

2. The big-shot law firm that Erin Brockovich was battling decided to settle when her lawyer's firm hooked up hooked up with a big-shot firm of their own.

3. The guy who tried to sue Michael Moore for using footage of in Farenheit 9/11 might have been more successful if he'd focused the lawsuit on NBC, who gave Moore the footage. But of course, NBC has more legal muscle.
