The latest development in the ongoing litigation against so-called “copyright troll” company Righthaven found Judge Roger Hunt of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada levying a $5,000 fine against the company for misleading the court.

But, without explanation, Hunt didn’t sanction any of the Righthaven attorneys that may have been responsible for the misrepresentation.”
