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."

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.
