Posted by Unknown on from the you-have-the-right-to-be-beaten-mercilessly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Troubled times ahead for Righthaven, as Ars Technica reports that the U.S. Marshals have been instructed 'to use "reasonable force" to seize $63,720.80 in cash and/or assets from the Las Vegas copyright troll after Righthaven failed to pay a court judgment from August 15.'"

      Well, we could find a use for their domain and computers, but what would we do with their women?

    go down to the local drug store, pick up a piece of posterboard, and put it on a stick (protest-style).
    print out/draw/whatever a giant-sized version of nelson muntz from the simpsons pointing a finger at the onlooker with a giant "ha-ha" balloon next to him. stand outside their offices for an hour or two as their shit is getting thrown in the street.

    for extra epic ironic insult win, get a friend to get another giant posterboard placard, and stand next to you. His placard should have an arrow pointing at yours and simply read "Copyrighted images used on these placards are protected by fair use laws of the United States."

    and sell them at sheriff's auction.

    Ooo. Lemme know when the auction is. Then I can share the secrets with /. =)

    It's a victory, small, but a victory no less.
