An appeals court Wednesday refused to block a creditor’s collection actions against Righthaven LLC, the Las Vegas newspaper copyright infringement lawsuit filer.

In the latest in a series of legal setbacks for Righthaven, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Righthaven’s “urgent motion” of Sept. 27 that the court stop attorneys for prevailing lawsuit defendant Wayne Hoehn from executing their judgment against Righthaven for $34,045 in legal fees.

Attorneys for Hoehn defeated Righthaven in one of the 275 infringement lawsuits it filed since March 2010 over Las Vegas Review-Journal and Denver Post material.

4. Dig deep, you creep

Start paying your judgment creditors, Righthaven. You collected enough from people too broke or too uninformed to fight you. What happened to all that money? The tune you called for is ended. Time to pay the piper.

5. Strange, these are relatively low sums of money

You would think that first, as lawyers, and second, as purveyors of this scam over who knows how many people, that they would have tons of money.
