Use of Excerpts From and Linking to Article Found to be Fair Use
Righthaven, a company which has purchased and owns the copyrights to various news and media articles, has filed multiple lawsuits against various individuals who have reposted, excerpted or quoted one of Righthaven's copyrighted articles. Righthaven has pursued actions against individuals who use the articles in their websites, blogs or other Internet webpages, whether personal or commercial. Notably, it appears that Righthaven does not warn defendants with a cease and desist before filing a lawsuit.
