The Las Vegas Sun Journal "assigned" its copyright and hired this group called Righthaven to sue a blog for excerpting an article as a copyright violation. Dozens of other similar suits are filed or contemplated by this Righthaven group against other blogs. A judge has shut that down and has threatened sanctions against Righthaven.
