"As an organization that has been characterized as a lawsuit mill that profits off of quick settlements, Righthaven's opposition [to paying opposing counsel] is unsurprising, as the payment of attorney's fees throws a sizable wrench into the workings of the Righthaven lawsuit machine. Nevertheless, Righthaven's calculations about the Firm's willingness to seek fees were wrong, and now Righthaven must pay. ... As aggrieved as Righthaven may feel at the prospect of paying fees to the firm that potentially is its most prolific opposing counsel, Righthaven's subjective notions of fairness (the irony of which the hundreds of defendants affected by Righthaven's lawsuits, usually without warning, would be quick to point out) do not negate well-settled precedent within this Circuit entitling the Firm to fees."
