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."

    First we push them from their homes, then we sue them for using software when they don't even have computers

      That's Inuit you ignorant plick!

      BTW I am sitting in front of my G4 Dual 500 as we speak. My property taxes just went up $24,000.00 last week, just because I put a fresh coat of snow on my igloo! I got back at them though - I put their dogsleds up on blocks.

      Don't mess with someone from North Pole, Alaska! I know Santa personally. If I really get irritated I'll arrange for you to get Windows XP in your stocking next year!

  2. !! moderate me up please !! by Distan · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok slashdotters, I'm asking that you moderate this up for (mostly) selfish reasons.

    I went to school with "Scott" Leviant. I don't mean went to school in the "we were in the same campus" sense, I mean it in the we were in the exact same geek cligue sense.

    I'm wondering if he reads Slashdot.

    So, "Scott", if you are out there...

    Only you, me, and WR could answer these two questions...

    hmmm .... Voting as a non-citizen is a felony and will prevent you from ever holding legal status in the US. Probably not the best course of action.

    The sad thing is, a lot of Americans actually believe that immigrants are able to vote and eligible to collect social security.

    Please Read This to see what YOU Americans owe France for their help in YOUR war of independence

    That's right, if it wasn't for the glorious French, you'd still all be UK subjects over the pond.
