Receiver says Righthaven ‘uncooperative’ in surrendering copyrights
Las Vegas copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC balked at surrendering its copyrights for auction.
"The very real fact is that the copyrights are not owned by Righthaven, but rather constitute property of the assignor based on the ineffective assignment of ownership," Mangano (Righhaven's outside lawyer) wrote in his email. "Simply put, Righthaven cannot assign copyrights that are owned by the assignor for sale to a third party through an auction."
