Two groups ask high court to shut down Righthaven in South Carolina
Source: Las Vegas Sun

Two groups today asked the South Carolina Supreme Court to shut down Las Vegas copyright enforcement company Righthaven LLC in that state.

Citizens Against Litigation Abuse Inc. and the Lowcountry 9/12 Project asked the court to find that Righthaven’s business model is the “unauthorized practice of law” and to “enjoin Righthaven from operating in South Carolina.”

The Lowcountry 9/12 Project is a South Carolina Tea Party group headed by Dana Eiser, who was hit with a no-warning copyright infringement lawsuit by Righthaven Dec. 2 after a Denver Post column showed up on its website.

Attorneys for Eiser have fired back, hitting Righthaven with an updated counterclaim and suing it in a South Carolina court.
