Someone asked me if the ACLU or similar type of organization is involved in defending folks. The answer is it's the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) located in San Francisco.
They work on a pro bono basis and have more asks for help than they can handle; in part because of all the Righthaven suits. This means they try to take the more promising ones that can hopefully set precedents.
Unfortunately their case load was full so I was referred by the EFF to a group of intellectual property gurus - Ridder, Costa, and Johnstone, who served as my attorneys.
They took my case because I was willing to fight and they thought I had some compelling arguments. Reality set in when Righthaven brought in a "new set" of lawyers who indicated they were going to be just as obstinate as I was. Many legal arguments & counterarguments were traded - it became clear that Righthaven wanted to have a precedent case as well - and they'd have been happy to have it been my case. Also note my previous post about additional liability to others being potentially dragged into this.
After toting up the figures to go all the way to the 9th circuit court I decided I had better settle.

Just heard from the lawyers that since both parties signed the settlement papers that Righthaven has formally dismissed the case against 986forum and myself in Nevada federal court.

BTW - have to throw a bit of politics in this - I asked if I should contact my state rep and senator for help, since I'm a taxpayer.
Answer: Absolutely not - they always stay away from Federal cases .....

I really enjoy the Porsche part of the website and I am sorry for your troubles but you can keep your political views to yourselves. It figures that the source of the problem would be the lounge. So I am glad that your politics did not ruin a good source of Porsche knowledge. Maybe there is a lesson here...
Another country heard from!

I'm sorry for what you guys have gone through, but...
... thanks so much for posting.
I wasn't aware of what was going on.
You may have saved me a lot of aggravation as well.
Contribution on the way.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Thanks.
Porsche color. They did a limited run of 250 orange Boxsters. Still love the color after 3+ yrs. It reminded me of Calypso Coral on the 1970 Mustang Mach 1.
