Copyright Trolls Assets Targeted for Seizure

The legal woes of Las Vegas-based copyright-trolling firm Righthaven
continued Sunday when one of its creditors moved to seize its assets.
.
The development comes a week after the deadline passed for the former
litigation factory to pay defendant Wayne Hoehn $34,000 in legal fees for
successfully defending himself against a Righthaven copyright lawsuit.
Righthaven had asked U.S. District Judge Philip Pro of Nevada to stay the
fee award, saying it might slip into bankruptcy if forced to pay.
.
No stay was granted. So Hoehns attorney, Marc Randazza, asked Judge Pro on
Sunday to authorize the U.S. Marshalls to execute Hoehns judgment through
seizure of Righthavens bank accounts, real and personal property, and
intangible intellectual property rights for levy, lien, auction or other
treatment appropriate for satisfaction of Hoehns judgment. (.pdf)

Judge Pro ruled in June that Hoehns posting of an entire Las Vegas
Review-Journal article was fair use, and later ordered opposing legal
fees. The Copyright Act allows for legal fees to the prevailing party.

Lawyer wants US Marshals to seize copyright troll's bank account

After the judge awarded the $34,045.50, Righthaven asked for a stay, which
the judge has not yet granted. It has also appealed the case, and Hoehn's
lawyers say that all this work has already added another $14,000 to their
legal bills. They also expect to ring up another $100,000 in the future to
oppose Righthaven's appeal of the case. Instead of the original
$34,045.50, then, Randazza Legal Group now wants a bond for $148,045 from
Righthaven.
.
Righthaven has already missed its September 14 payment date, so last night
Hoehn's legal team filed for a "writ of execution" with the Nevada federal
court handling the case. "The Court is entitled to authorize the U.S.
Marshals to execute Hoehns judgment through seizure of Righthavens bank
accounts, real and personal property, and intangible intellectual property
rights for levy, lien, auction or other treatment appropriate for
satisfaction of Hoehns judgment," says the filing.

Righthaven doesn't want to pay, of course. In its emergency appeal for a
stay of the judgment against it, the company warned that having to pay
even the $34,045.50 would involve "the very real threat of being forced
out of business or being forced to seek protection through bankruptcy." In
addition, it has developed proprietary "copyright infringement search
engine software." If Righthaven's assets are placed in liquidation to pay
the judgment, this software might be "sold to any one of a host of
infringers or other supporting organizations that would attempt to reverse
engineer the software in order to devise methods for evading detection."
