Gibson remains CEO of Righthaven, appeals to continue
« on: November 01, 2012, 09:58:52 AM »
The Righthaven LLC copyright lawsuit saga will continue indefinitely after a judge on Wednesday blocked efforts to have Righthaven's CEO fired and its appeals canceled.

Interesting posting.

It's troubling that Gibson is keeping this going.
Plaintiff Righthaven is in bankruptcy, meaning that any defendant that prevails wouldn't be able to collect any damages from Righthaven.
Gibson's allegedly funding Righthaven's continued efforts.  Does that mean that Gibson should personally be held responsible for court losses by Rightaven?
Certainly something to consider.  Unless Righthaven's actually being secretly funded by Stephen's media.

One could ask what value lies in keeping Righthaven and its trolling efforts afloat.
Maybe Gibson is one of those people that can't stand to lose no matter what.
But, it's just as likely that Righthaven's menacing reputation might be useful for future trolling efforts.
The prospect of paying huge legal fees above and beyond what Righthaven originally demanded (even when one is in the right) is enough to scare anyone.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

So, if Gibson/Righthaven should prevail in an appeal, then the monies should go to Righthaven's creditors, right?
That is, the people that they sued and lost to in the past...  lol.
