Re: wftmate Anyone can sue anyone for any reason under the sun. That doesn't mean they'll win. However, it's a form of blackmail. The person filing the suit does it in hopes that the defendant will cave and do what the plaintiff wants, which Lavasoft has done. I can sue you because I don't like the fact that you own a cat and demand that you get rid of it and buy a dog. Doesn't mean I have a leg to stand on, but you might decide to give in just to make me go away. After all, getting a lawyer can be expensive. The problem for a company like Lavasoft is that, once they give in to one spyware vendor, the others smell blood and attack. Eventually, Lavasoft will have to grow some balls and fight back, or they'll be picked apart. |

or i could just claim harassment if you kept pushing your cause and get a nice little restraining order.
where i am, you are basically punished for losing your case instead of this you pay your own stuff deal. |
