EFF's fair use win over Righthaven: it's hard out here for a troll (eff.org)

Well, it's a pretty small victory when you consider the copyright troll didn't even really own the copyright in question. If the EFF can't win these cases, we're really in trouble.

I wonder how the case would have gone if Stephens Media had just hired Righthaven as a law firm, rather than try to get cutesy and (I assume) use them as an asset shield.
