From my point of view, kudos to the judge, the EFF and all concerned parties for getting it right and dealing with Righthaven. Further kudos to the judge for ordering Righthaven to show cause as to why they should not be sanctioned for making misrepresentations to the court.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the defendants that settled or lost in litigation now that this judge has made a finding as to their misrepresentations.

Aside, all of the defendants could have avoided this by filing a DMCA Agent notice with the US Copyright office, which costs around $135.
