Class Action Filed Against Bonzi Software

Posted by timothy on from the pronounced-phooey dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "A nationwide class action lawsuit was filed on November 25, 2002, in the Superior Court of Spokane County against Bonzi Software, Inc.

The attacking lawyers provide some samples of the ads they say are misleading.
