LAS VEGAS - A man said to have offered a "valuable customer list" purporting to be a CE Cash e-mailing list was issued a temporary restraining order August 8.

A federal judge handed down the order against Eric Suchomski, known also as BigMike9712, after Suchomski reportedly offered the list for sale on a popular adult Webmaster chat board, according to R.P. Ventures attorney David Steiner. R.P. is seeking over $1 million in actual and punitive damages against Suchomski.

The order bars Suchomski from selling, disbursing, or any other dissemination of any e-mail addresses actually or allegedly belonging to R.P. Ventures, whether or not it's identified as a CE Cash list. It also bars Suchomski from accessing any computer systems housing these lists. A heariing on R.P.'s preliminary injunction motion is set for August 13.

"This property is valued in the millions," said an unidentified R.P. spokesman, "and we will continue to prosecute this matter and any individual found trading or using our customer list to the full extent of the law." The purported "CE List," as Suchomski was said to have trumpeted it on the message board in question, reportedly contained 12 million e-mail addresses.

Reached for comment by AVN Online, Steiner said the temporary order was granted the same day the case was filed, just days after R.P. learned of Suchomski's message board postings.

CE did not wait for 25 people to call them with 100% proof. They went to court right away and got a restraining order the same day they filed. If Acacia isn't using a stolen list, then they should have no problem with an injunction against them using a stolen list.
