New submitter nwf writes "Ars Technica reports that three of copyright troll Righthaven's company lawyers, including CEO Steve Gibson, are the subject of a Nevada State Bar investigation.

  1. The nice thing about our bloated legal system... by orphiuchus · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...is that for everyone who tries to make a career by abusing it, there's someone who's made a career by stopping people like them.

  2. Don't kid yourselves people. by pclminion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't kid yourselves. The ONLY reason Righthaven got boot stomped is because they were small and can't afford to pay off the right people. Not because what they were doing was "unacceptable" to our society. This is what happens when the little guy tries to play like the big guys.

  3. Please disbar them all! by danbuter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I hope all of them get dis-barred for life. It's the only way other attorneys will get the message.

    News is like food. I just ingest and digest the stuff, I don't bother remembering whether I ate from fine china, bone china, or throwaway paper plates. ;^)
