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."

A certain publishing house is trying to assert copyright over public domain material. (yes it's a link to my blog but typing is very difficult for me so I don't want to repeat myself).

If you'd have opened his link you'd have see why right on his page: "diagnosed with ALS in 2004 and continued working until 2008 when I could no longer control a mouse"

Truly an insensitive clod.

The 'old' Righthaven got nothing from the sale of their domain - it all went to their creditors.
