Copyright Troll Righthaven Stops Responding To The Courts
It's funny that, the guys that were so fond of the court system when they were suing bloggers, now don't even bother showing up in court.

Now it appears that it's just completely given up.

Swearing on Twitter can get you expelled from school these days? Sure it was a school issued laptop but he was at home at the time.
