The defendants run a website on immigration issues. They posted to their website 100% of a 33 paragraph Las Vegas Review-Journal story on Las Vegas police targeting minorities.
The post attributed the story to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Righthaven then acquired the copyright to the story and, following its standard tactics, sued the defendants for copyright infringement without sending a takedown notice.
The
defendants asserted a fair use defense, and the court granted it on summary judgment.
