In a familiar pattern, Las Vegas copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC missed deadlines in two of its lawsuits Friday, prompting a creditor in one of the suits Saturday to again ask that U.S. Marshals seize its assets.

In the first case, Righthaven had until Friday to either pay prevailing defendant Wayne Hoehn’s $34,045 in legal fees or post a bond guaranteeing payment.

It did neither, prompting Hoehn’s attorneys at Randazza Legal Group in Las Vegas to ask U.S. District Court Judge Philip Pro to issue a writ of execution for Hoehn’s judgment.

The proposed writ requires the Marshals Service to seize Righthaven’s personal property.

1. I hope the company that hired their services

probably one and the same have all of their assets seized too.

2. This story has been marvelous. If you'd made up Righthaven...

as a means to illustrate the absurdity of copyright law and help establish protection for fair use, you couldn't have done a better job.

5. Justice wins out once again

Righthaven is an example that is everything wrong with Capitalism.
