If they didn't support spam, why do they keep the money generated from spammers that they cancelled?
If they didn't support spam, why don't they display the spammer's information on a page that shows that the spammer had been terminated?
If they didn't support spam, why don't they put a simple link on the landing page which displays the verified affiliate information?
I had a web site owner that I sued, having the same affiliate with two different accounts. Of couse they settled, so I didn't get the ask the next logical question.
The people in the porn industry is easier to attack because it is porn, just because it is porn. But many of the site owners support spam and other "bad" forms of advertising.
If they are serious, they should terminate Zango immediately -- if the accusations are true, and donate their money to charity.
[rant mode on] The site owners (the porn sites) make it easier to attack them as they support spam. They claim that they have a no tolerance spam policy, but they don't do anything to discourage it. They will terminate the spammer, if ever caught, and keep the money for themselves. If the site owners were serious about spammers, they would make available the affiliate information when referred to a web site -- so when I go to a web site through spam, I can click on a link and find out the sender.

The purpose of the suit is not to make or recover money from the lawsuit. The idea is to create fear. This is the same thing that the MPAA and Mattel does.
Many people see "grandmother sued for $1,000,000 for downloading music on the internet" and will be afraid to download music unless the RIAA gives its blessing. The same thing with thing with the MPAA and movies. Though they pay lots of money to their attorneys, their point is made.
The RIAA filed a dismissal on the eve of a bad ruling against them. I had Mattel do the same with a libel claim, when the judge asked what was libelous, Mattel dropped it. They do this to prevent a bad ruling against them, because they will be stuck with that bad ruling.
When I was at MIT, they had some cute no smoking signs, like "Smokers will be nuked blue" or "You are permitted to smoke, if you file an environmental impact study 60 days prior to the show, and if anyone complains, you can't do it."
When working on the pre-show system they had a guy taking a sledge hammer to a car, having an elephant sit on the car, and then seeing it it looked like a car in the magazine.
Some of the new turn off your cell phone adds are cute.
Except for the fact that Goldfarb was under oath, meaning he goes to jail if he gets caught lying.
Even though it is illegal people do commit perjury. In my case against Star Marketing Group they lied under oath in a declaraction. Mason Stedman claimed that it was the only officer in the company and since he was out of town, he did not receive the summons and complaint. If you look at company's web page shows that that is a lie.
In another case, I had a spammer claim that there is no "affiliate program", both their own corporate web page made reference to it.
Even if caught, these liars will not likely be jailed for it -- such a shame.
I worked on a high-def digital cinema preshow playback system based on Linux. It is currently running in over 400 cinemas. Of course it would take work to find and glue them together. You would also need TV compatible video output with Linux drivers.
It is not going out and destroying other's ideas. It is going out and taking others ideas. PC DOS was bought for a few beads. Micorosft stole the Windows interface from Apple after Apple stole it from Xerox. Micorsoft stole the Stac compression modules for DOS 6, then sued them and ended up paying Stac a bunch of money.
Many companies with supposed "very talented economists, financialists, and lawyers working for them" have done things that failed. Look at Sony and their rootkits? In 1986 many "very talented economists, financialists, and lawyers" commented buying a PC software only company, Microsoft, would be a very bad investment. Many people said the same thing about a company that sells over priced coffee -- Star Bucks. A very talented manager at HP ridiculed Steve Wozniak when he designed a personal computer.
I dealt with godaddy. After Ben and Justin stopped heading up the anti-spam department, their response to phony whois information has become disappointing.
This is not just somebody threatening to sue. This is a solicitor/lawyer threatening to sue. Of course a threat is not a lawsuit, but a lawyer threatening to sue on their own behalf and then filing a lawsuit is more likely than someone who has to pay an attorney $300/hour.
I had an attorney not take my threat of filing a suit seriously, until I provided him with a 7 page complaint the next morning. I had a porn spammer dare me to sue them. Boy he was suprised when I actually sued.
MFC stood for Microsoft Fucked Class. It took quite a while before people started using it. At 1.X it was complete crap.
Many of their layers tended to be buggy, fat, and slow. Why would anyone be suprised? It is because they are a big company and the PHBs order it used. When at DTS, I had a VP that did not push Microsoft down our throats for development, but that may be because he is an MIT grad and knew the technical aspects.
I have one drug spammer, Robert Smoley -- in Florida that has paid me with a bad check. He wrote the company check as an installment on a stipulated judgment. Tonight, I plan on taking the bad check to the police for to start the prosecution for a bad check.
I wonder, if he can get discounts for his cellmate on viagra.
There is a difference between a valid judgment and an enforcable judgment.
The I have not seen the complaint, but I suspect that the complaint makes the allegation that Spamhaus transmits the data into the judisdiction, causing the harm in the jurisdiction -- thus subject to that jurisdiction.
I won the same argument against TJ Web for their spamming.
If it is correct that UK will not enforce a foreign default judgment, then spamhaus is safe unless they have assets that the Plaintiff finds out about. Remember the Dmitry Sklyarov? He just happened to be in the USA when he was arrested for supposed crimes committed while in Russia.
I went after a spammer. I got a $100,000 stipulated judgment. As part of the judgment, they agreed to provide the information on other spammers. Their money went to the California Attorney General's office. I wanted the information on the other spammers.
Taking out spammers is not about getting money. It is partly about making points, partly about getting information on other spammers, and to encourage others to go after spammers.
Isn't the WGA a form of content protection? Only a pirate and this is a serious felony. Publishing this will convince the children that theft is allowed.
These nanny laws are a bad idea that are not thought through. If they required security turned on, what will they require for the password? They will assign a password like President Scroob's luggage combination.
I testified at the Texas Senate hearings that wanted to require internet filtering software included with each machine sold, saying that, "it is only $1 to add a disk." They forgot that some machines do not include an operating system, that some machines do not include an operating system, that some operating systems do not have filtering software available, and that filtering software costs more than $1 to license.
You mean secure such as having an admin password as "pass" ?
If it is configured with encryption on, what would the password be? 1234? If that is so, inform President Skroob so he can change his luggage combination. It won't be any more secure than no password since anyone can guess the password.
Warranty periods are determined by failure rate. If a 13 month life is expected, you get a 12 month warranty.
Software is not engineered these days, it is slapped together and is sloppy. Years ago, if a mainframe system went down, people are fired. Now, it is expected. Companies get away with charging for bug fixes. People accept bugs as normal.
There have been many examples, such as the original pentium bug. Of course, there was a bug in Windows Calc, it was 2.01 - 2.0 = 0 (If I remember correctly).
When I first heard about the 9/11 attacks, I thought "Was this a CIA plan to get a law passed to elimnate all are civil right?" Of couse not, but then they passed the Patriot act. Only terrorists and criminals would have anything to hide, only a terrorist would say, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Though it is Java based, they left out quite a bit.
Instead of depending on style checkers for formatting, just get a good programming editor and configure it for the style. This may not take care of all of it, but it can help.
I'm a big believer in lint and PCLint , which also can be used for style checking. I don't know how good JLint.
The piece skipped out on automated testing -- ie. Purify.

This gives an entire new meaning to the term fatal file system error.
A court can't order a unrelated party in a lawsuit to do anything. Unless they have property that belongs to the party in the lawsuit.
You are right. IANAL, but if I understand correctly, they will have to enter a action where ICANN is located for ICANN to be required to obey.

I have a major problem preventing me from being a lawyer, dealing with liars. I can't stand liars.
Maybe that is why I am a software engineer, I am used to the truth.
