Righthaven, a copyright-troll law firm that failed in its attempt to make money for newspapers by suing readers for sharing stories online, was dealt a death blow on Tuesday by a federal judge who ordered the Las Vegas company to forfeit “all of” its intellectual property and other “intangible property” to settle its debts.

Righthaven tried to make its bones by suing blogs and Web sites that reposted or aggregated content from newspapers without permission. It failed, miserably.
