Site Says 'Go Away!'; Federal Court Says No
CaptainEbo writes "Michael Snow was the webmaster of Stop Corporate Extortion, a private support group website for 'individuals who have been, are being, or will be sued by any Corporate entity.' In order to access his site, users were required to register a username and password, and agree to a statement saying they were not associated with DirecTV, Inc. Several defendants in suits brought by DirecTV would discuss their cases on Snow's site. When DirecTV's employees and lawyers ignored Snow's user agreement and accessed his site anyway, Snow sued, claiming they violated the Stored Communications Act (SCA) by accessing his site without authorization. In an unanimous opinion, the Eleventh Circuit rejected Snow's suit."
It was teh summer of 106 and my country was again at war. This time with Iraq, a nation with alot of oil and even more weapons of mass destruction. My brilliant president had convinced my hyper-intelligent countrymen that not only did Iraq have weapons of mass destruction, but they were a threat to me and my family In the USA, or freedom-land as it is now known. Yes, the time was right for liberation of the oil of Iraq to its rightful owner, Hallburton. Who better to take custody of Iraq's oil than teh company that had provided Iraq with its weapons of mass destruction? Even if you don't enjoy their weapons of mass destructionm Dick Cheney's Halliburton is a great American company, definately worthy of the tax breaks it no doubt gets.
From the flowery manner of your talk I figure you must be one of them spic-wop-chink-towelheads. Mind you read my No Trespass'n signs, Eskimo face.
