Brick & Mortar scenario:

If I was fired from my job and not given a reason, my only option would be to sue my former employer for wrongful discharge.

My case would be brought to court, my employer would bring proof/reasons as to why I was fired, and a judge and jury would decided on whether or not I was wrongfully discharged.

Internet scenario:

Run was terminated from the program and not given a solid reason. His only option is to sue Spotbrokers. I'm not sure what the exact charge would be.

His case would be brought to court, Spotbrokers would bring proof of is cheating, and a judge and jury would decide whether or not he was actually cheating.

Tell me how these two scenarios are different.
They are similar but limited to "jurisdiction."

If I'm fired by a local employer and can prove wrongful termination I don't have to travel 1,000's of miles to sue them.

They are more than likely in the city I reside in.

My costs would not include air fare from eastern europe, hotel costs etc.

And you know a court case could be drawn out so any webmaster with a half a grain of intelligence would know this is not financially feasible.

Because there would be many trips back and forth to the states, the travel expenses alone would be way more than what's at stake here.


So all this grandstanding of SB stating...come on sue us! doesn't prove anything other than that they have the upper hand in the mexican standoff.
