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."

When you get to slap the trolls in the face like that. Its too bad we cant get the MPAA and RIAA domains from them with all their frivolous lawsuits

I'd know what to do with at least one of them: "Rockers Independent Alliance Association or RIAA, dedicated to being a one stop shop to help independent artists connect with fans and each other and promote the freedom of music while still letting the artist make a living by helping set up tours, the selling of promo items, and generally helping both fans and artists enjoy the wonder that is music" sounds like a good idea to me.
