Intuit Sued Over Product Activation

Posted by michael on from the just-desserts dept.

An anonymous reader writes "PCWorld is reporting: [Scott] Leviant's firm of Stanbury & Fishelman has filed a class-action lawsuit against Intuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of all U.S. purchasers of TurboTax software for the 2002 tax year. The suit alleges that Intuit engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices by failing to fully disclose the mechanisms and consequences of its product-activation technology before consumers pay for the software."

      Just change the text of the article a little bit, and the parent post is even more funny ;-):

      The suit alleges that the I.R.S. engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices by failing to fully disclose the mechanisms and consequences of income taxes before citizens pay their taxes.

      The funniest part is, the above sentence is still completely true ;-).

    What do you mean you "don't have a congressman"? Just pick one out! We got 20 million mexicans who can vote, get a drivers license, get free medical care, bring over their entire familes, open bank accounts and now even get social security-all of whom are not "legal" immigrants. No idea how many legal, that is OK as far as I am concerned, but the other 20 million do exist, and what I said is true, they do all that stuff and no one says boo to them--so-- don't let being a canadian get in your way, the US is wide open! Have fun! Pick "your" congress weasel out and let him have it with your opinion!
