Righthaven Will Sue No More?

The revenue strategy employed by some newspapers may have just sunk itself.

Righthaven, a company that sues alleged copyright infringers on behalf of newspapers like the Las Vegas Review-Journal and papers in the MediaNews chain, has been forced to disclose its contract with Review-Journal parent company Stephens Media.

The contract spells out the legal relationship between Righthaven and Stephens. BNet explains:

1. Stephens transfers copyrights of specific articles to Righthaven.
2. Righthaven searches for unauthorized use and reports on potential cases to Stephens.
