Righthaven faces PR problem in suit against N.C. man(20 yr old with autism)

One of the Righthaven LLC copyright infringement lawsuits over the Denver Post "TSA enhanced pat-down" photo has turned into a public relations debacle for Las Vegas-based Righthaven.

Defendant Brian D. Hill of the North Carolina-based website uswgo.com has been telling his story to The Associated Press, North Carolina and Virginia television stations and to Colorado media outlets.

He's often portrayed as a sympathetic victim of Righthaven with Hill, 20, saying in his court response he can't afford to pay for a lawyer or Righthaven's $6,000 settlement offer and that he has diabetes, hyperactive attention disorder and mild autism.

-----

In the Colorado case, look for Righthaven to quickly offer a more favorable settlement to Hill. Otherwise, Righthaven is going to be dealing with attorney David Stevens Kerr of Santangelo Law Offices P.C. in Fort Collins, Colo., who has stepped up to defend Hill. Santangelo Law Offices specializes in intellectual property litigation, i.e. patent, trademark and copyright lawsuits.

Article points out more people are fighting Righthaven - termed it a "buzzsaw". The more who fight back the less profitable this scumbags are becoming.
