Court tosses Righthaven fair use appeal
Source: Vegas Inc (Las Vegas Sun)
Las Vegas copyright lawsuit company Righthaven LLC suffered another setback Wednesday when an appeals court dismissed one of its appeals.
The dismissal was requested by the nonprofit Center for Intercultural Organizing (CIO) in Portland, Ore., which won a key fair-use ruling last year against Righthaven.
The dismissal was granted Wednesday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, which cited case law that appeared to back arguments by the CIO that Righthaven could no longer participate in the case since creditors had seized the copyrights it sues over. In layman’s terms, the CIO argued Righthaven no longer had a dog in the fight so the fight was over.
... Separately, Nevada judges dismissed seven more Righthaven lawsuits between July 20 and July 24 after Righthaven failed to prosecute them because of its lack of resources and the rulings against it in other cases.
