The judge in the Righthaven case said this... "Because the SAA (lawsuit contract) prevents Righthaven from obtaining any of the exclusive rights necessary to maintain standing in a copyright infringement action, the court finds that Righthaven lacks standing in this case," Craigslist ToS doesn't grant them exclusive rights, thus by that judge's definition they don't have standing to sue.

>Craigslist ToS doesn't grant them exclusive rights, thus by that judge's definition they don't have standing to sue. That is not what the judge is saying. By "exclusive" rights he does not mean wholly exclusive in the colloquial sense (i.e.,, sole person with such rights); the judge meant "exclusive" in the legal sense that Righthaven could exclude non-licensees from using such rights.
