Rods And Customs From Del MAr
Back in the days when Hollywood was all about elegance and style, the Del Mar Fairgrounds was the "playground of the stars." Famous celebrities like Bing Crosby, Betty Grable, Clark Gable, and Ava Gardner would head to this San Diego hot spot to socialize, watch the ponies run, drink martinis, and do whatever else famous celebrities did.
Today, the Del Mar Fairgrounds is still a pretty hot location, especially on the first weekend of April, when Goodguys books the place for the Del Mar Nationals and thousands of participants flood the fairgrounds with hot rods, customs, street rods, show rods, musclecars, street machines, and classic cars.
It may not be a glamorous Hollywood scene, but if you want to see style, all you have to do is hike up and down the rows of rods parked all around the grandstand and inside a few of the fairground buildings. This is Southern California's first big outdoor rod event of the season and in addition to the local iron that shows up every year, plenty of top-level rods fresh from the Grand National Roadster Show or the Detroit Autorama usually show up. Of course, Goodguys recognizes the average-joe hot rodder just as much as the big-name builder, and low-buck, homebuilt rides are just as welcome as high-end trophy cars. We saw every part of the spectrum this year, picked 10 for our R&C Top Ten awards, and photographed as many as we could. Here are a few of the rods and customs that made our cameras click (more can be found online at www.rodandcustommagazine.com).

Okay, so being single on Valentine's Day can kind of suck.
Maybe my experience is unique, but every time I've been (technically) single on V-Day, I've usually spent the holiday irrationally hoping the guy I was sorta seeing that month would pull off some completing uncharacteristic romantic gesture (or, you know, just text me) and then capped off the evening by drinking an entire bottle of wine and eating a box of chocolates sent to me by my mom. Totally not lame, right?
But! What I should have been doing all of those (uber pathetic) years was get myself gussied up for a night on the town to meet the man of my dreams. According to data collected by Facebook, the number of people listing that they first met on Valentine's Day was 70 percent higher than the average number listed for a typical day. What's more, 200 percent more relationships are added to the site on Feb. 14 than any other day of the year.
So, if you're single, get ready to mingle this V-Day. You could be talking about how you met your S.O. on the holiday next year.

Disgraced Charlestown MP Andrew Cornwell has announced he has quit the Liberal party and will not recontest his seat at next year's state election.
Mr Cornwell made the announcement on Friday, one day after he admitted at the Independent Commission Against Corruption taking a $10,000 bribe from a prominent businessman Hilton Grugeon.
"Following my appearance at the ICAC yesterday I have thought carefully about what is in the best interests of the people of Charlestown," he said.
"I have decided that I will not contest the next State election. I have already stood aside from the Parliamentary Liberal Party. Today I tendered my resignation from the Liberal Party of Australia (NSW Division)."
"I have sought Parliamentary leave from the Speaker because these matters have significantly impacted my family and, while I take full responsibility for my own actions, I need to care for my family during this time," he said.
"It has been a privilege to represent the people of Charlestown in the Parliament of NSW."

A radiator can also be defined as a heat exchanger. As fluid is pumped out of the motor via the water pump it travels into the radiator where it flows past small fins inside. These fins are fashioned into small rows of ¼-½ spacing and make up the radiator's core. On the older-style radiators the fins were ½ inch apart from one another and for the most part worked OK. Then the demand for more horsepower came along and so did cooling larger-horsepower engines. In the '80s, brass and copper prices rose higher than aluminum, so the automakers took a look at making aluminum radiators that reduced overall cost. US Radiator took a look at what the newer cars and trucks were doing inside their radiators and discovered the fins were spaced slightly smaller to ¼ apart instead of ½ on the brass and copper core radiators. The ¼ spacing helped cool the vehicle about 20-percent better than that of the ½ fins because of the increased surface area of the fins and core. The above holds true for the brass and copper core radiators, but aluminum radiators require a slightly larger fin and spacing. Aluminum radiators transfer heat, but not as efficiently as a brass/copper radiator will. With that said, aluminum radiators still work great and reduce a radiator's overall weight by 20-25 percent. And as we all know, taking weight off the front of a truck helps the vehicle handle better and saves fuel in the long run.
Cross-flow radiators and down-flow radiators
A down-flow radiator will have an inlet on the top of the motor for the hot coolant to enter from the engine. As the coolant enters the radiator it mixes in the top tank with the rest of the coolant. If you can picture a bunch of rubber ducks inside of the radiator all trying to get to the lower hose, some make it right away and some don't. The rubber ducks that make it out of the lower hose right away are not as cool as the ducks that stay in the radiator's fins longer. A down-flow radiator typically holds more coolant than that of a cross-flow and is very tall.
On a cross-flow radiator the tanks are on either side of the radiator with the coolant inlet on top of the radiator. The cross-flow-style radiator directs coolant from the inlet to a side tank, then across the radiator. Picture the same rubber ducks coming from the engine, then through the upper radiator hose into the tank. The ducks would then gather inside the inlet side tank and be forced to the other side outlet tank of the radiator. When the coolant travels from inlet to the outlet side of the tank, it must travel through the core of the radiator inside small tubes that have cooler air passing by them reducing the coolant temp. One advantage to a cross-flow radiator is that it is not as tall as a down-flow radiator and can accept one large fan or dual electric fans. CT

Fun at the Collaborate 2012 show floor
The Collaborate show floor is always a fun one to check out. The Oracle users groups conference, taking place in Las Vegas, always has a few interesting things in the exhibit hall worth checking out. Here are a few of them:
Elephant cake. Yep, a cake made in the shape of an elephant. I didn't try any, but I heard it was pretty good.
A big bin of Legos. Nice. Too bad my 3-year-old son isn't a conference attendee. I played with this for about five minutes. People building things with the Legos got a free T-shirt from the Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG). Or you could get an apron too, if you wanted.
Some mini-golf. Most of these people were better putters than Tiger Woods has been lately.
A little skee ball never hurt anyone. Too bad they didn't have the little ticket dispenser at the bottom though.
Want a tattoo? This guy was doing temporary tattoos that last five days. They have like 100 different designs.
And yep, I got a tattoo. Can't wait until I show my wife. Let's just say I'm not going to tell her it's temporary right away. Looking forward the expression on her face.

Hyundai Genesis vs. Audi A6 vs. Lexus GS vs. BMW 5 series
If you're interested in the Jag, there is someone in the Jag XF forum who is about to take the new XF or the 535.
Only if you're interested, otherwise, good luck with the 535i.0
bruceomega Posts: 250FWIW,
I have an '08 535Xi.
On the road, I have gotten as high as 30 mpg at a somewhat steady 74 mph. I typically average about 25 mpg on a trip with no effort to be frugal with the gas pedal. Trip computer shows overall average is 19 mpg, local and highway combined.
I really like Logic 7. It's much better than the standard audio system in my wife's '06 X3.
What I like most is Lexicon's Logic 7 surround sound processsing. When engaged, it seems like you are listening in a larger environment than the physical confines of the car itself, and provides a more natural ambiance.
Thanks for the insight. The current thinking is going to be the BMW 5 series vs. the A6 from Audi, which I really liked. The BMW would, however, be a 528, which while not as fast as the 535, is adequate for my needs. My dealer just got a new one in with Logic7, but I have to add the Satellite and CD changer--the hard drive models won't be in for a while and will not likely have the incentives.0
mobiusf1 Posts: 15hey sounds great. Question, have you driven both the 528i and 535i? Just saying, b/c to be honest, the 535 is far faster and gets very similar fuel economy. When your buying a car like this then the extra money shouldn't make that much of a difference because you should get the car you want. Don't compromise. I'm just saying this from my experience. But if your fine with the 528i than all the power to you.0
I have decided to wait it out a bit longer....I technically have 3 months left on the Infiniti M lease and in a worst case scenario my wife is willing to drive the M--leaving me with an RX400h which I love.
I can order a new BMW the way I want it and it would be in just about in time...or wait for the Audis to be updated with the HDD nav system, which is coming for 2010--but I heard they may arrive early.
I'll keep everyone posted.0
adamjmank Posts: 10I am driving my genesis 3.8 for 2 weeks now 1400 miles on it.
Very disappointed with the bumpy ride ( bounces a lot ) and the dealer has no explanation for this. The car I test drove was not as bumpy. On the streets and highway around the dealership.
I drive to work on highway 35 miles each way on concrete highway. makes it very bouncy for a 36000 car.
I replaced my lexus with this and the same trip was much smoother.
I also feel the rear wheel genesis 3.8 accleration is very less compared to the car I replaced.
the car itself looks gorgeous in looks. I am still waiting for a resolution from hyundai. for now i am riding it with reduced air pressure although it doesn't help much in ride comfort.
The tight ride (minus the bumpyness) can be compared with a BMW.0
"The Accord is sportier and fun to drive!"
Funny, I just tried out an 09 V6 and thought it was nice but uninvolving, Maybe I drove too many BMW's. Then again, I was talking to the salesman. Better they should just shut up while you're driving. I thought my 86 Accord coupe was fun, but didn't handle. A flexy flier. It may have been in a wreck as the body was not solid.0
Mercedes E-Class and Infiniti M
Mercedes has had horrendous quality problems and sounds like the battery drains down in just a few days. Infiniti M got rave reviews from Jin Healey @ USA Today, but gets horrible gas mileage.0
My daughter has an 06 Sonata, replacing a 97 Camry, one of which we also had. My first impression was that it didn't measure up to the Camry and the ride was too stiff. I drove it again last week and didn't notice those things, except that the seat doesn't go back nearly far enough. She loves it, esp the V6. Performs well. Give the Genisis some time. I'll keep my wifes 03 Avalon with KYB GR2 struts and Energy sway bar bushings, and 31 MPG. Totally different car after the changes. Big change in feel when we replaced the standard 15" wheels with the 16? summer mags too. Fun now. Details in the Avalon forum.0
I was a life-long BMW driver. I had a 325, 328 and most recently a 330Ci. I was looking at upgrading to a BMW 550i, when I decided to test-drive a Lexus GS460.
I was totally blown away by the Lexus. Superior build quality, superior handling (with the standard active suspension on the GS460), better steering experience, much more intuitive user interface (I love the touch screen), and much more engaging styling inside and out (matter of taste but comparing them back to back, the BMW design seemed outdated).
I should comment more on the handling. I am a performance driver. I used to take my 330 to the track. What impressed me about BMW historically is that the suspension is good in almost every setting. Other cars are tuned either for comfort but don't corner well (Benz E500, Genesis) or for performance but give you a jarring ride on bumpy roads (Infiniti M45, Audi A6). BMW 550 has a great balance of comfortable but performance oriented ride. However the GS460 is much better. The cornering experience is much superior due to the active suspension which holds it flat in sports mode. You really feel like you can throw the car around and engage the curves. In comfort mode, the car deals with the bumpy city streets much better than the BMW without losing its basic sportiness. Coming from a BMW330Ci (one of BMWs best non-M cars) I was blown away by the Lexus driving experience compared to BMW.
The other factor was the electronics. I found the BMW iDrive totally distracting. In my old car tuning the satellite radio was really a pain. I love the intuitiveness of the Lexus touch screen. It's no iPhone, but to draw an analogy, the Lexus feels like using an iPhone while the BMW feels like using a Windows Mobile phone. They deliver almost the same functionality, but the Lexus system is so much easier and more pleasant to use.
The only downside with the Lexus is the factory tires are not as good as those on the 550 if the 550 comes with Pilotsport 2s. I just upgraded the tires on the Lexus to Michelin PilotSport 2s and that closed the gap. With these tires the Lexus is smooth, grippy (strikingly so in the rain) and has great road feel.0

You do know that the ('08+) 550i Sport has Active Roll Stabilization (ARS)? It's the same concept as the Lexus system you're praising. You must not've been driving the 550i Sport or it was older than '08.0
I leased a 2009 Genesis Sedan (V 8 with techno package) a week ago yesterday. Today (with less than 500 miles on the vehicle) I was driving it down Alligator Alley in Fla, two hours from home, in the middle of an afternoon rainstorm. Suddenly, with no warning, things just went off -- lights, dashboard lights, windshield wipers, window controls, door lock controls, all air conditioning. It was raining so hard I couldn't see. If it had been dark, and without lights of any kind and no wipers, I would have been dead. The hazard lights wouldn't even work. It was a miracle that I made it (slowly and stressfully) to my exit, but the car totally died a mile from home and had to be pushed off the road. Has this happened to anyone? Does anybody have any idea what this could be? Perhaps I got a lemon. I sold a Mercedes to get into this car, and up to now I was very happy with it.0
No clue here, but I would be interested in hearing about your Mercedes experience in view of their reliability problems with models after say, 2000. What year and model did you have? Any reason other than price for not buying another?0
I bought the R350 in March of 2006. The vehicle was a dream for long distance/interstate travel, which I do a lot of in my business, and roomy for transporting customers and their luggage, etc, from the airport. The third row seats were rarely used as they were rather cramped. People loved the sunroof that extended over the back seat. In-town driving was sluggish and rather ponderous. I should have gotten the more powerful engine. I had to get rid of the vehicle because of ongoing problems with the electrical system. The navigation/sound system display panel, while beautiful, was a problem. It had to be replaced 3 times. The navigation system itself wasn't great and therefore rarely used. Air conditioner control buttons stripped out on a regular basis, despite careful handing, and had to be replaced several times. There were other problems with the air conditioner--it totally went out on me twice, which is a misery in South Florida. I went through 3 batteries in 3 years, which is not normal in my opinion. The interior had some minor appearance problems -- the tabs on the air conditioner vents broke, seat belt covers fell off, the steering wheel was a nice wood but the parts of it coated in sliver flaked off. My local service center was fine, and all of these problems were voluntarily serviced under warranty, except for the batteries, but for the last year I had the car they eliminated the Mercedes loaner program and switched to Enterprise rentals. For what you pay for a Mercedes you really don't want to have to drive a Focus stinking of stale cigarette smoke around town while all of these issues are attended to. Any of this sound familiar?0
"Any of this sound familiar?"
Yes, that's why I asked. I wondered if they had gotten their act together. How could Mercedes have sunk this far? More importantly, why haven't corrected their quality problems after all these years? Between them and the American car companies, they have made it a walk in the park for the Asian manufacturers to become dominant. Shame on them. Now they're paying the price. Arrogance can do that.0
After reading the above 2messages, I found 1more reason to trust lexus.
I was expecting the hyundai genesis to be a nice car, but what can I say now. :blush:0
allmet33 Posts: 3,557Hey...bmlexus...have you driven one personally or are you simply going by other people's opinions???
No...the Genesis isn't a BMW, nor is it a Lexus...however...for the money you spend and what you get for the money, it's not merely a nice car....it's a great car (for the money). Can't touch anything like it for the money!
The first mistake folks make (imho) is they are expecting it to be just like a BMW, Benz, Infiniti or Lexus. Early on, it was stated that the 5-Series and E-Class were the benchmark of the Genesis. That merely means that those were the cars that set the standard that Hyundai was shooting for when they created the Genesis. Considering this is Hyundai's first attempt...I think they did remarkably well. Take one for a spin and you'll see what I mean.0
"I was expecting the hyundai genesis to be a nice car, but what can I say now. :blush: "
It might be prudent to see if there is a pattern here and if so, how they stand behind it. Probably not wise to condemn on one report. Probably not my cup of tea, but I'm impressed how they came of the cellar on their first attempts, zoomed right past American companies and rose to the top of the quality ratings. I give credit where credit is due.0
tjc78 South JerseyPosts: 8,721I found 1more reason to trust lexus.
If you read on here and on the "genesisowners.com" website you will find that the vast majority of Genesis owners have had little or no problems with their Genesis. Mine has been problem free except for an alignment issue (not the car's fault) and one loose clip on a dashboard trim piece.
The Genesis is not a perfect car, but, like others have mentioned a lot of car for the money. I could think of a few improvements... but that could be said of ANY car.
2017 Buick Enclave / 2017 Hyundai Elantra (for a little longer) / 2019 Volvo S60 T6 Inscription0
My impression is the same. I wrote the 528 off my list. Totally different experience. Thrashy, far less performance. Only the 535 for me.
Still, my 03 Avalon gets up to 31 MPG runnung 80 with a load. 27-29 is more typical if windy etc. though. I would take a hit there with the 5 Series. Guess the fun factor would have to make up for it, but after upgrading the suspension, I don't feel I'm missing much there either (See 04 and earlier AV & suspension mods).
I just tried out a Cad STS AWD V8. Rather drive the AV, but the STS felt much heavier. Guess the ES 350 is still top of the list as I can always do the same suspension upgrade on that with KYB GR2 struts and Energy sway bar bushings.0
carolinabob Posts: 576Did not drive, but checked out an A4 and an A6 yesterday and studied the brochures and web info on both. The A4 appears better equipped than the A6 and almost as big inside. Both smaller than the Genesis and smaller than my Azera.
Biggest problem is that neither is up to the Asian standards on features and electronics. Even after you load up with most expensive packages and options.
Sales manager recommended I get the $770, 3 year maintenance package if I purchase. In otherwords, maintenance will be expensive per the manual.0
rk2469 Posts: 30I need a confirmation. Such incident is so rare. If it did happen, I need more than 1 report to confirm it.
This single post isn't sufficient enough. I wouldn't dismiss it but such thing happens with other cars, including Lexus. I think, this anecdotal post is a rare and does not represent the total view.0
To follow up: Problem not resolved. I contacted the dealership from which I purchased the vehicle. Two calls went unreturned (Mon the 17th). On Tuesday the 18th the same thing happened with the car -- system failures resulting in total inoperability. I must say that once I got the car to the dealership, I've had fantastic communication from my service rep. He's been cooperative, informative and honest. Fortunately they're not minimizing the seriousness of the problem with this particular vehicle -- if they did they would have one angry customer. Their Genesis techs are baffled but working hard to fix it. All day Tuesday when the car was with them it ran fine, then a manager went to drive it in the evening and incident #3 happened. I truly do not believe that this is characteristic of the Genesis, and yes it could happen with any vehicle. I think it's rare and a fluke, and I also feel confident that Hyundai will fix the car. I've done a good deal of research on the web and not found a similar experience.0
dulnev Posts: 652If you like Avalon and considering ES 350, check out the 2010 Buick Lacross. Never thought I would suggest a Buick to anyone, but you have to see this car to believe it. It is beautiful inside and (mostly) out, and is choke full of technology and features not available on BMW, Audi or Lexus that cost $20K more.
I wouldn't want to buy it because the driving experience is supposed to be similar to the Lexus ES, but that seems to be what you want.0
Ah, but have they solved the resale problem?
If I bought an ES 350, I wuld probably do the same suspension upgrades that I have done to my wife's 03 Avalon as detailed in the 04 and earlier Av forum. Handles much more like a BMW now and is more fun to drive. Tried out a new Cad STS AWD V8. Heavier feel, but I prefer the AV. Don't like the Cad steering feel. CTS too.0
Rather than wasting money on suspension upgrades for an ES350, I would just spend $5000 more and get a GS350. GS350 has superb handling, a more powerful engine (I think it is because of direct injection), and drives as well as a BMW. No front wheel drive car will match that.
On the Genesis - I agree its a good car and don't believe reliability issues are widespread. But a Hyundai dealership just can't provide a premium service experience. I went in there, and just did not want to deal with a service guy who barely speaks English and has a gold tooth. Its just not confidence inspiring. Plus if you ever need a loaner you get stuck with some crappy 4 cylinder hyundai instead of getting a Lexus ES350, IS250 or RX350 loaner which is what Lexus offers. I think Hyundai was extremely naive in trying to start a luxury car business without separate dealerships.0
"Rather than wasting money on suspension upgrades for an ES350"
Well, if $$$ were no concern.......... but I can do the suspension upgrade for 1/10 of that and still have a fine car. What does one really need? As opposed to what would I like to have. Guess I'm just too practical. That's why I will buy when they come off 3 year lease and the price is down. That initial depreciation is like flushing the money down the toilet. I have no debt and I want no debt. Personal choice. Don't like paying others for using their money either. Also like flushing it down a toilet. I pay cash because of what I have saved doing it like this. Takes discipline and not for everyone but it works great for me.0
I also have no debt, no leases, pay cash and get really good deals. I was simply making the point that suspension upgrades cost money upfront which are pure depreciation because they aren't worth much of a premium to used car buyers.0
rocketdan1 Posts: 2for those who had minor issues/turn off about Genesis suspension , now have little to say with the 2012 version.
Already own the Genesis coupe and ready soon to trade it in for a family sedan with some sport. (infinity M, BMW 528, Genesis)
Took the coupe in for service and test drove the 2012 Genesis 3.8 and color me impressed.
I was already impressed with the car when it was first born, but the 2012 drives even more refined and looks even better.
It is no longer a pre tender and is a real option when cross shopping vs bmws, infinitys, mercedes imo (other than for brand image, which hyundai is improving upon every day). Because the price for it is low, it can also be an option for buyers interested in semi luxurious cars like maxima, avalon too.
Pros: Refined to respectability, suspension is on par with the best in its class, handsome looks (last years model rear tail lights not aging well, front grill doesn't blend in well with rest of the car), best car you can buy for the money
cons: Interior could be more modern, 8 speed auto geared towards smooth and gas saving vs 6 speed zf which was better for "sport".0
So what did they change about the suspension? I wouldn't buy one the way Hyundai's were. Too jiggly.0

WEDDING: Johnson, Lenhardt
Brooke Johnson and Justin Lenhardt were married Dec. 22 at Pantano Stables near Tucson, Ariz. The Rev. Josh Reich officiated the ceremony, assisted by the bride's grandfather, the Rev. Wayne Handle, who gave the final blessing.
Mark and Lisa Johnson of Marion are the parents of the bride. Bill and Joan Johnson of Wichita and Wayne and Gloria Handle of Baxter Springs are her grandparents. Marie Clark of Burns is her great-grandmother.
John and Becky Lenhardt, Phoenix, Ariz. are the parents of the groom. Joan Hadley of Phoenix, Frank and Lucy Lenhardt of Palm Springs, Calif., and Ana Lenhardt of Fort Collins, Colo., are the groom's grandparents.
The bride wore a lace-adorned, ivory gown with a sweetheart neckline and keyhole back. She was given in marriage by her father. The groom wore brown corduroy pants and a maroon blazer over a white shirt and suspenders.
Kaylee Looney, of Littleton, Colo., sister of the bride, attended as matron of honor. She wore a cream-colored, short dress and cowboy boots.
Friend of the groom, Tyler Bloem of Tucson stood as best man for the groom, wearing brown cords, a white, button-down shirt, and suspenders.
A wedding supper for the wedding party immediately followed the ceremony, and guests gathered for an outdoor reception. Round tables were covered with black tablecloths and decorated with white runners of burlap. Centerpieces of white, cream, brown, and rust silk flowers were arranged around jute-wrapped wine bottles and upside-down wine glass candleholders. Tree branches and twigs placed in wine bottles and flower arrangements completed the rustic look, set off by sparkling, white pavilion lights.
The couple danced as man and wife for the first time to guitar and vocal music by Amanda Miller. Abigail Wilhelm, friend of the couple, attended to a buffet of hors d'oeuvres.
After a honeymoon in San Diego, Calif., the couple flew back to Kansas for a New Year's Eve reception in Winfield. Josh Whitwell provided music and line dance instructions.
The couple resides in Tucson.

State and federal biologists today released another 79 birds rehabilitated after rescue from oil impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill along the Louisiana coast.
Atchafalaya Delta Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in St. Mary Parish was selected by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as the release site due to its location and high quality habitat for the species involved.
"LDWF's coastal wildlife refuges and management areas provide thousands of acres of habitat not affected by the oil spill," said Robert Barham, LDWF secretary. "It is an encouraging sign for the wildlife recovery process to see more birds released each week."
The birds released today, which were treated at the Hammond Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, included gulls, herons, rails, roseate spoonbills and terns. To date, 978 birds have been treated and released in Louisiana as part of the massive wildlife rescue and recovery effort.
Atchafalaya Delta WMA in coastal St. Mary Parish includes 137,695 acres at the mouths of the Atchafalaya River and the Wax Lake Outlet. The WMA is managed by LDWF's Coastal and Non-game Resources Division.
To report oiled wildlife, call 1-866-557-1401 with date, time and location information. For a complete report on wildlife rescue and recovery numbers along the Gulf Coast during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response, go tohttp://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/doctype/2931/55963.

Judge Rules That Righthaven Lawsuit Was A Sham; Threatens Sanctions
from the huge-win deptIn a huge victory against copyright trolls, a judge has thrown out the lawsuit filed by Righthaven against Democratic Underground. This was the key case where (after lots of stalling), Righthaven eventually revealed the strategic agreement between it and Stephens Media, which basically shows the copyright assignment to Righthaven was a fraud. All Stephens really transferred was a "right to sue," and that's not a transferable right under copyright law. As we had expected, the judge relies on the Silvers vs. Sony Pictures case, which notes that you can't assign just the right to sue.
Pursuant to Section 501(b) of the 1976 Copyright Act... only the legal or beneficial owner of an exclusive right under copyright law is entitled, or has standing, to sue for infringement. Silvers v. Sony Pictures Entm't Inc.... In so holding, the Ninth Circuit followed the Second Circuit's decision in Eden Toys, Inc. v. Florelee Undergarment Co.,... superseded by rule and statute on other grounds.... Section 106 of the Act defines and limits the exclusive rights under copyright law.... While these exclusive rights may be transferred and owned separately, the assignment of a bare right to sue is ineffectual because it is not one of the exclusive rights.... Since the right to sue is not one of the exclusive rights, transfer solely of the right to sue does not confer standing on the assignee.... One can only obtain a right to sue on a copyright if the party also obtains one of the exclusive rights in the copyright... Further, to obtain a right to sue for past infringement, that right must be expressly stated in the assignment.That's the basics. As the court digs into the details, it becomes clear that the judge is monumentally not impressed by the arguments from Righthaven and Stephens Media. A couple of choice quotes:
This conclusion is flagrantly false—to the point that the claim is disingenuous, if not outright deceitful.Towards the end, the judge unloads on Righthaven's attempt to claim that because earlier rulings by the same court had been okay with its standing, there was some sort of precedent:
The companies' current attempt to reinterpret the plain language of their agreement changes nothing. In reality, Righthaven actually left the transaction with nothing more than a fabrication...
Righthaven argues that Section 15.1 of the SAA gives the Court authority to correct any provision of the SAA that is deemed void or unenforceable to approximate the manifest intent of the parties. The problem is that this argument requires a provision of the SAA to be void or unenforceable. However, Righthaven's problem is not that any provision of the SAA is void or unenforceable but that the SAA simply does not grant Righthaven any of the exclusive rights defined in Section 106 of the Act required for standing. Therefore, the SAA is not void or unenforceable, it merely prevents Righthaven from obtaining standing to sue from the Assignment. Accordingly, the Court need not and shall not amend or reinterpret the SAA to suit Righthaven's current desires...
Here, Righthaven does not ask the Court to recognize an oral transfer with a late made written memorandum of the deal, but to fundamentally rewrite the agreement between Righthaven and Stephens Media to grant Righthaven rights that it never actually received...
Finally, Righthaven contends that multiple courts within this district have already determined that Righthaven has standing to bring claims for past infringement under the Silver standard based on the plain language of the copyright assignment. At best, this argument is disingenuous. As the undersigned issued one of the orders Righthaven cites for this argument, the undersigned is well aware that Righthaven led the district judges of this district to believe that it was the true owner of the copyright in the relevant news articles. Righthaven did not disclose the true nature of the transaction by disclosing the SAA or Stephens Media's pecuniary interests. As the SAA makes abundantly clear, Stephens Media retained the exclusive rights, never actually transferring them to Righthaven regardless of Righthaven's and Stephens Media's current contentions. Further, Righthaven also failed to disclose Stephens Media in its certificates of interested parties, despite Stephens Media's right to proceeds from these lawsuits...As for that last point, it may open up Righthaven to a world of hurt. The judge notes that it appears Righthaven violated the law here and gives the company two weeks to explain why it shouldn't face sanctions not just for the failure to disclose in this case, but in all of its cases:
As shown in the preceding pages, the Court believes that Righthaven has made multiple inaccurate and likely dishonest statements to the Court. Here, however, the Court will only focus on the most factually brazen: Righthaven's failure to disclose Stephens Media as an interested party in Righthaven's Certificate of Interested Parties. (Dkt. #5.) Rule 7.1-1 of the Local Rules of Practice for the District of Nevada requires parties to disclose "all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including parent corporations) which have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case." This Local Rule requires greater disclosure than Federal Rule 7.1, which only requires non-governmental corporate parties to disclose parent corporations or corporations owning more than 10% of the party's stock. Frankly, if receiving 50% of litigation proceeds minus costs (Dkt. #79, SAA Section 5) does not create a pecuniary interest under Local Rule 7.1-1, the Court isn't sure what would.I would suggest that judge Roger Hunt is not particularly pleased with Righthaven. He's also allowing Democratic Underground lawyers to seek attorneys' fees from Righthaven and Stephens Media.
Making this failure more egregious, not only did Righthaven fail to identify Stephens Media as an interested party in this suit, the Court believes that Righthaven failed to disclose Stephens Media as an interested party in any of its approximately 200 cases filed in this District. Accordingly, the Court orders Righthaven to show cause, in writing, no later than two (2) weeks from the date of this order, why it should not be sanctioned for this flagrant misrepresentation to the Court.
This will likely kill off most of the remaining Righthaven cases in Nevada. While not all are handled by Judge Hunt, you can be quite certain that all the other judges in the court will be aware of this. The impact on the Colorado cases isn't as certain, but all of those cases are under a single judge who is equally upset at Righthaven, and reviewing similar issues. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar end result.
Righthaven could (and might?) appeal, but it's going to be difficult to reverse this. Furthermore, in theory Righthaven could come up with a new agreement with Stephens Media and continue suing, but the court already expressed its doubts about the weak attempt by the two companies to "amend" the existing agreement, suggesting that it was just "cosmetic adjustments" that the court did not believe would change the outcome.
What may be interesting is to see if any of the dozens of folks who already settled come after Righthaven now and demand their money back... That could make for an interesting followup legal battle. All in all, this is a huge win against copyright trolling.
