Video Professor Sues 100 Anonymous Critics

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sco-business-model dept.

Techdirt is reporting that the Video Professor Company is suing 100 anonymous critics of their company. The Video Professor is known for their television ads hawking DVDs that teach you various skills like how to use your computer. Most of the complaints center around how their "free" product offering automagically signs you up for a subscription. Instead of addressing the concerns the Video Professor has decided to take the litigious route.

    Anything to distract them from producing more of those really annoying TV ads! Hopefully the lawyers will suck up their entire marketing budget for the next few years!

    Judge: "So who are you suing exactly?"
    Video Professor: "Anonymous."
    Judge: "Uh, clerk, who exactly is 'Anonymous?'"
    Clerk: "Well Your Honor, I read slashdot and the only 'Anonymous' I know are cowards."
    Video Professor: "They certainly are!"
    Judge: "Would 'Anonymous' please stand and be recognized by the court."
    One soul stands...
    Clerk: "Please sit down CowboyNeal."

    There are no loopholes. It's either legal or it's not.
