The settlement was disclosed in court papers this week by Righthaven LLC, the Las Vegas company that sues over Review-Journal copyrights. Terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed.
“On or about Sept. 14, the parties entered into a settlement agreement whereby Democratic Party of Nevada shall be released from all claims of copyright infringement in the above-entitled matter, upon full compliance with the terms of the agreement,” a court filing said.
...
Righthaven, which through this week had filed at least 144 copyright infringement lawsuits since March, was in the news earlier in the week when it and the Review-Journal’s owner, Stephens Media LLC, were hit with a counterclaim by another defendant, the Democratic Underground.
Before settling the case, attorneys for the Nevada Democratic Party filed court papers admitting three Review-Journal stories and portions of two more Review-Journal stories at issue were displayed on the party’s website.
