Lawsuits Fly Over Google Founders' Party Plane

Mr. Soxley writes to tell us that the Boeing 767 recently purchased by Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page is at the heart of what promises to be quite a legal battle. From the article: "Now the Delaware holding company that technically owns the 767, Blue City Holdings LLC, is embroiled in multiple lawsuits with an aviation designer hired to plan and oversee the massive plane's interior renovation. [...] But last October, Blue City terminated Mr. Jennings's contract, saying he wasn't doing his job properly. Mr. Jennings then filed a nearly $200,000 lien against the aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration for payment he hadn't received. He later filed a complaint related to the matter against Blue City and Gore Design Completions Ltd., the San Antonio executive-jet outfitting firm that worked on the plane, in District Court in Bexar County, Texas."

Didn't you see the slashdot story graphic? This is about your rights online and it affects us all dearly.

I can only hope that in this particular case, Google sends its lobbyists to Congress to change laws affecting how the FAA administers leans against aircraft so that all of us slashdotters with our own 767-200's don't have to worry about the judicial system screwing us over once again. This is about all of our ONLINE RIGHTS!

This will serve as a stark warning...

...for the rest of us concerning our modified 767s. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

1200 Emails = Involved?

Mr. Jennings says allegations that he wasn't sufficiently involved in the project or accessible to the plane's owners are false, and has over 1,200 emails related to the project to disprove them.

I've got 1200 emails about Viagra - I'm not involved in cock-pills.

Think of it as tech celebrity gossip. Tomorrow we'll discuss whether or not RMS's boobs are real.
