It looks like Righthaven moved to a smaller office.
Section 11 does nothing of the sort. Stephens Media can still be sued by victims. The only thing section 11 does is bar Righthaven from suing SM. The minute Righthaven files for bankruptcy the victims and lawyers will turn their attention to Stephens Media and MediaNews Group. They will not be able to escape this. They have put themselves in a black hole.

Their office is deserted? WOW! That is really telling. Righthaven may be a company that only exists on paper. This is interesting.
Net Sorte, LLC has no Internet presence as far as I been able to find. Do a Google search and there is nothing there except references to it from Righthaven stories. Makes you wonder if it is even a real company or just another front that exists entirely for accounting and tax purposes?
SI Monitor is also a Stephens Media subsidiary and Net Sorte, LLC is owned by Steve Gibson of Righthaven. Someone needs to follow this money trail and it appears to lead to the Stephens Family.
The fact that Righthaven is not profitable means they are being subsidized almost entirely by Stephens Media. This appears some sort of money laundering operation to keep certain expenses and liabilities off the books at Stephens Media. Since Righthaven is almost completely subsidized by SM this could be a basis for bringing them into these lawsuits as well. Stephens media must be held accountable for what they have created.

I think Stephens Media and MediaNews needs Righthaven to stay around as cannon fodder, or should I say Kincannon Fodder.
Sgt Rock has suggested before that defendants in lawsuits should just admit they were wrong and pay up. Sounds like Righthaven should listen to Sgt Rock.
Hey Righthaven. You should just pay the $3815. It will be a lot cheaper than fighting it in court.
Oh how the tables have turned. Sweet justice.
