The Media Bloggers Association has asked a federal judge in Nevada to award only minimal damages and no lawyer’s fees to Righthaven who is suing a blogger for violating copyright in publishing an article from the Las Vegas Review-Journal on his website.
The lawyers for the bloggers argued in the brief that the damages asked, $150,000, and $1,850 in lawyer’s fees were excessive in light of nature of the alleged infringement. -db
