Pretty Stunning huh! This is really happening because Brian (I) actually got served with a summons to go to court over 1 TSA Picture. What does this mean for bloggers? Beware because even if you use only your own pictures and content or ones under creative commons anything can be copyrighted by RightHaven then you can be the next victim of their lawsuit machine.
A website that lists the victims of Righthaven LLC's 'shakedown' lawsuits that are causing irreparable harm to the blogging, non-profit and small business communities.
Are You and Your Website or Blog Next?
Righthaven LLC -- a bottom feeding legal outfit -- has teamed up with the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post to sue 'mom and pop' websites, as well as nonprofit, political action, public interest, writers, and forum board operators for copyright violations. The strategy of Righthaven is to sue hundreds and thousands of these websites and counts on the fact that many are unfunded and will be forced to settle out of court. Nearly all cases are being filed in a Nevada Federal Court and must be fought in this jurisdiction. You are not safe from Righthaven if you are out-of-state.
