Privacy as a Fundamental Right? The Government’s Terrible Privacy Track Record Suggests Virtue Signalling Over a Genuine Commitment
True, but
according to what I have seen, what Righthaven does is buy up copyright on newspaper content (sort of like patent trolls buy up patents), then sue bloggers, etc, who reference those articles without getting permission from Righthaven (this isn’t Righthaven’s first suit; there are many others that have been filed according to Wired).
Based on this, even though they credited the newspaper, it sounds like the paper wasn’t the rights holder, so even if you credit the paper, you’ve still not actually credited the rightsholder. I realize this is a fine line, but in this instance they probably were inadvertently in the wrong, at least according to the letter of the law in the US.
Fair Use vs. Copyright Troll

Clearly Righthaven is ignoring fair use. It’s good to read Righthaven’s case getting thrown out of court:

Awesome PartYYY!!!….I was very worrying about organizing and party for my friends and relative, actually it was the first anniversary and I never ever organized a party from my own but Calgary Caterers have done a very nice job. Every one is praising about the quality of catering services and delicious food, I never have seen such Catering in Calgary.
