I haven't done a good job posting new links on Righthaven here. I have mostly done it on the Facebook feeds. So thanks for the help.

As I have been saying, people involved with any of the Stock Photo extortion letters need to follow the Righthaven cases. In many ways, it should empower the letter recipient.  A lawsuit can actually be detrimental for the party suing if the privilege is abused.

And there is no doubt that Righthaven and Stephens Media are trying to game the legal system and copyright laws.
