After a few days on the block, copyright troll Righthaven’s domain name sold for $3,300 this afternoon. The funds go to creditors of the bankrupt firm, which tried — and failed — to build a business shaking down websites that excerpted content from its clients’ publications.
We almost bought it just so we could redirect it at humorously-chosen sites, but it got a bit too racy for us around the $2k mark. The whois currently remains the law firm that seized it; if you won it, get in touch!
