Your rights online - Another stupid company

Whatch out people, you could be sued for having an opinion now...

[Hippie_Tech_Too]

Unbelievable!!!
If ever there was a need for karma to work it's wonderful magic, I know who should be getting a little negative karma now. They must not have gotten very good lawyers if that case didn't get thrown out from the beginning.
What am I saying??? They shouldn't have even needed lawyers. The judge should have read the case and dismissed it out of hand.

Ever been on a tech forum where people didn't trash Microsoft, Packard Bell, Compaq, etc...
Could you imagine if they started to sue all of us?

[jimmm33]

In an effort to aviod litigation, I jimmm33, hereby retract any and all statements I may or may not have said about the aformentioned corporations or any other corporations. Furthermore, I would like to apologize to the following corporations regarding any and all comments I may or may not have said.

Hewlett-Packard
Compaq
Packard Bell

I hope that covers me.

Comcrap sucks

[Mr. Pickles]

that's just freakin' insane!

I honestly can't believe the reaction that petswarehouse.com has taken.

It's a simple concept called customer service, you apologize and try to make good on your promises, not sue your customer base because you provide lack luster goods and they discuss it.

[Kymera]

Sssshhhhhh. Don't say that name, he might hear you.

[[NeoZeeD]]

hmm i wonder if they will sue me?


petswarehouse.com sells garbage dont ever buy from them they also sell drugs and have underground prosistution. petswarehouse is a scam and the are all racists dont buy from them ever.
they are all talibon.

hhehehe lets see if i get a call from a laywer

[Mr. Pickles]

What's even worse is that this case wasn't immediately thrown out for its blatant stupidity.

Pets Whorehouse (heh) are sueing the people that posted negative comments in a forum. Some members of that forum, have actually settled (paying money TO Petswarehouse.com!!) as they could not continue to afford legal representation! how insane is this?

Seriously, I wonder how that day in the office went...

Boss: "Hey, I heard someone doesnt like our service, and is letting people know that we suck.."

Underling: "Lets sue! All of them. Twice!

Boss: "Hey, great idea Barry! But to think this one through properly, we're gunna need us some liqour...."

Anyone object if I email this thread to a few people, to get some attention? First its fish-farmers, then who the hell is next?

For those who want to know <a href="http://216.168.47.67/psw/Docket/Stipulation.htm" target="_blank">this is the settlement agreement</a>. Very intersting stipulations and it seems there is a lot more details in this case than can be gleemed from the original slashdot article. Pay close attention to stipulations #2 through #8.

Thanks Pakprotector, I was a little confused on who was being sued.

I hope that this is not a trend that all Companies are going to follow.

What Im really stunned at, is that these people are an internet based business, so they must have some idea of how online communities work. I am stunned they would bite the hand that feeds them, in such a disgusting fashion.
