Righthaven Redux — With a Difference

First time accepted submitter Capt.Albatross writes "At Boing Boing, Rob Beschizza reports that, in an act of delicious irony, Swiss ISP Ort Cloud [sic] has acquired Righthaven's domain name and has relaunched Righthaven.com as a web hosting service diametrically opposed to the practices of its original owner, a notorious but ultimately unsuccessful copyright troll. The new owners, in partnership with first amendment lawyer Marc Randazza (who was instrumental in the original Righthaven's demise), promise 'infrajuridsictional infrastructure' — uptime that would require international cooperation to bring down. 'Frivolous plaintiffs will find little comfort here' says Ort Cloud's Stefan Thalberg. The domain name became available in a court-ordered auction of Righthaven LLC's assets, to pay its creditors."

Perhaps, for a fee, they could send you your very own custom frivolous takedown notice, so you can relive the old days.

Redirect them to the Pirate Bay, of course.

This is like taking over the Death Star

It's now called the Life Star, and instead of blowing up planets, it'll cover them with a spray of flowers.

Or something.

I just wanted to use the Star Wars metaphor.

You wouldn't know what to do with those domains if you had them.

I'd found the Monty Python Association of America...
