A newspaper, the Las Vegas Sun, which had been the
main competitor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal when the latter paper became
involved with copyright troll Righthaven and had reported on a lot of the
detail, may close. The New York Times
has a story by Timothy Pratt on the front page today, link here. Curiously, the Sun had an arrangement with
Stephens Media and at one time had almost become a separate section of the
Review-Journal, according to the Times story. Wikipedia has a history of the LVRJ and
Righthaven relationship here.
In May, 2013 this blog reported on a 9th
Circuit ruling that Righthaven had no standing as a plaintiff in its cases,
with the Righthaven Victims blog account here.
This story about the Sun certainly creates a curious
irony, and has hardly been noticed given the attention to the sale of the
Washington Post.
