A sports betting enthusiast who successfully defended himself against a lawsuit by Righthaven is now trying to turn the screws on the copyright enforcer. In an effort to collect unpaid legal bills, lawyers for Wayne Hoehn have asked a Nevada federal judge for permission to take ownership of Righthaven’s assets. If successful, the move will likely mean game over for the controversial firm that earned hundreds of thousands of dollars by suing individuals who cut and pasted newspaper articles from the Internet.

In weekend filings, lawyers for Wayne Hoehn asked a Nevada federal judge for permission to seize Righthaven’s “bank accounts, real and personal property, and intangible intellectual property rights.” Hoehn, a decorated Vietnam veteran, earlier this year successfully defended a Righthaven lawsuit that demanded he pay up for posting a newspaper article on the website Madjack Sports.
