Righthaven asks appeals court to block dismantling of the company
Despite its backing by billionaire Arkansas investment banker Warren Stephens, copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC of Las Vegas said Sunday it has been unable to secure a $34,045 bond to guarantee payment of a defendant’s attorney’s fees.
In an "urgent motion" filed Sunday with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, Righthaven asked the court to strike a Nevada judge’s order that it post the bond to ensure attorneys for copyright lawsuit defendant Wayne Hoehn get paid, should Righthaven lose its appeal in the Hoehn case.
Righthaven since March 2010 has filed 275 no-warning lawsuits against website operators, bloggers and message board posters like Hoehn charging material from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post was posted online by the defendants without authorization.
