Toys 'R' Us Wins Suit Against Amazon

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-wanna-grow-up dept.

theodp writes "Having prevailed in its bitter lawsuit against Amazon.com, Toys 'R' Us will create a new and independent Web site. A NJ judge found Amazon breached its agreement and ordered the two companies to sever their partnership Thursday. In a 131-page opinion, the judge termed Amazon's attempts to throw out e-mail evidence on the grounds that Internet communications lack reliability 'incomprehensible' and took a dim view of the testimony of some Amazon execs, including CEO Jeff Bezos' candor and 'rather childlike' explanations."

    I would have thought that Toys R Us, with its years of experience in marketing towards children, would have more childlike explanations. Oh well :)

      131 pages?

      That's how a judge expresses his opinion. I guess he has many of them.

      I wonder if: it's really the judge who wrote it (or dictated it), or some intern, and whether the judge (or anyone for that matter) actually -read- it.
