As suspected, and with apologies for blogging at such a late stage, it all ended up rather badly for the troll, echoing the<a href="http://the1709blog.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/media-cat-saga-now-for-obituary.html"> 'Media CAT / ACS:Law'</a> case in the United Kingdom. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Righthaven LLC, the law firm headed up by Steve Gibson, which rather publicly failed in its attempt to make money for <i>The Denver Journal, the Las Vegas Review Journal </i>and itself by suing readers for sharing stories online, was finally dealt a death blow mid-March by a federal judge who ordered the Las Vegas company to forfeit “all of” its intellectual property and other “intangible property” to settle its debts. As commentators say, the order is a somewhat ironic twist to a copyright trolling saga that began in 2010, when Righthaven was formed with the idea of suing blogs and websites that re-posted newspaper articles (or snippets of them) without permission. U.S. District Judge Philip M. Pro of Nevada ordered Righthaven to surrender for auction the 278 copyrighted news articles that were the subject of its lawsuits. saying “The copyright registrations to more than 275 works are in Righthaven’s name, can be transferred by this court, and can then be auctioned”. The Righthaven.com domain was auctioned for $3,000 to help satisfy the legal bill Righthaven must pay to one of its defendants that prevailed in a copyright suit brought by Righthaven. The legal costs are more than $60,000 in the case before Judge Pro, and in total Righthaven owes about $188,927 to various defendants.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /> </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As of the 3rd May there was seemingly no buyer interest in the copyrights up for auction - and a 50% discount was applied by Lara Pearson, the court appointed attorney handling the sales. The Righthaven trade mark was sold for $1,025 on eBay. There is a minimum bid of $50 for copyrights and you have till Saturday (5pm, PDT) to buy your slice of copyright 'history'. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> http://www.pinewswire.net/article/judge-orders-failed-copyright-troll-to-forfeit-all-copyrights/</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> http://www.vegasinc.com/news/2012/may/03/prices-slashed-righthaven-copyrights-auction/</div>

Your Home On The Internet - Using Your Blog to Attract New Prospects and Build Your Online Business

<div style="text-align: justify;">Your blog is your home on the Internet, and it can be used to build up almost any type of business. Because it is considered to be your home, you want your blog to welcome visitors much as you would if someone stopped by your house to see what you were doing one day. This means that you will want to put your best foot forward, and make anyone who stops by feel at home. Give visitors to your blog a reason to spend some time, and a way to stay connected with you long after they leave.<br /> <br /> Include your picture on the home page s that visitors will know who you are. The Internet can be extremely one dimensional, so we want to include pictures and even audio to let people feel like they know us a little better. Use the same or a similar picture on all of your sites, including your blog, social media sites, and as your avatar when you leave a comment on other people's blogs.<br /> <br /> Include detailed information on your 'About' page so that someone searching online will have a good reason to work with you. This is all about marketing yourself in such a way as to let visitors know why you are an expert in your niche.<br /> <br /> Make it easy for someone who has never been to your blog to navigate their way around your site. We are all impatient when we are searching online, and it is all too easy for them to find your blog, become frustrated when they can't find what they are looking for right away, and just leave your page for the next site. Instead, make it a comfortable experience by making your navigation bar and sidebar links simple to understand and click.<br /> <br /> Video will also add value to your blog site. You can create a short (under ten minutes) video and upload it to a sharing site such as YouTube, and then add the video directly to your page. It is easy to do this by going into the HTML of your post and pasting in the code generated by YouTube. This serves to make you two dimensional and adds greatly to your online visibility.<br /> <br /> You can see that you can make your blog more inviting to your visitors and prospects by spending some time to make it more welcoming. Over time, this will make a huge difference in how you are perceived by others and how well you are able to increase your bottom line.<br /> <br /> Remember that the reason to start an Internet business is to give you the time and money to live the life you choose.
