This article goes into depth the lawsuit Righthaven filed against CIO. The judge ruling over this case, Judge James Mahan has recently focused on if CIO's use of the article deprived the owner, Righthaven, of the ability to monetize it. Rigthhaven's lawyer has asked the judge to hold off on making a decision until it is known whether or not the article has a significant impact on CIO's market value. The main factor in determining wither or not posting this article was fair use is the fact teh the entire 33-page article in it's entirety was posted.
