It’s hard to
believe that Righthaven,
the company that was going to change the news media business by applying the
patent lawsuit business model to the enforcement of copyrights, filed its first
series of lawsuits five years to go.
(The events were so notable that even this trademark dedicated blog
could not resist writing up a copyright related
post).
To mark the
anniversary, former Las Vegas Sun Reporter Steve Green (now a staff writer with
the Orange County Register), who helped shine a spotlight on Righthaven as the
company embarked on and went about its controversial copyright enforcement campaign,
published a new article last week which looks
back upon the rise and demise of Righthaven (including new quotes from Righthaven
founder Steve Gibson who continues to stand by the actions taken by Righthaven).
