Only if it's material that's been distributed by one of their clients. They don't have any leg to stand on, BTW, and what they're doing is not only unconstitutional, it's crass and petty. That being said, I'd avoid dealing with the LVJR or any subsidiaries. The less traffic those scumbags get, the better.

Some more information about their legal jihad:

There have been over 200 Righthaven lawsuits so far and they have expanded their operation beyond Stephens media to include a list of mostly small time, local newspapers. The papers of note which are now part of this scheme are as follows:

The Sun
San Jose Mercury News
Denver Post
Detroit News
Salt Lake Tribune
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

and the one that started it all the Las Vegas Review Journal

If you are a blog owner who has excerpted material from any of these sites, ever, you need to remove it immediately. Righthaven is known for having a particularly narrow view of fair use. In fact, they sued Democratic Underground for posting just four paragraphs (12%) of a long story, even though DU included a link and clearly intended to direct readers to the story.
