986forum.com Sued by Righthaven - The Story

[Topless]

Sorry about your troubles, I understand your aggravation. My business was the target of a shakedown lawsuit along with hundreds of others in Calif. by a few lawsuit mills exploiting a similar loophole in California law. The lawsuit mills were eventually closed down and the loophole was eliminated but not before I shelled out $20K in defense costs.

A defense fund from forum members is a good idea, a long term court challenge and solution to the problem is even better. More on Righthaven:

Here is some info on how it was resolved in Calif. if you find it useful:

Same here, although this is a sad thing to do and just feeds the "bad" guys......

I sent my contribution -- and paid the Paypal fee. If everyone sends a small contribution there should be enough cash to pay the bills and maybe even up the server space!!
Thanks for everything, guys.
