Appellate Ruling Clears Way in Epic's Suit Against FriendFinder

SAN JOSE, Calif. ? A California appeals court on Monday ruled that FriendFinder Network can't compel Epic Cash to arbitrate its claims over litigation involving Zango?s pop-up advertising.
Monday's decision stems from a long-running suit over Internet marketing and the alleged conversion of traffic.

FriendFinder's AdultFriendFinder division, a competitor of Epic Cash?s EpicCams.com website, is accused of having used Zango?s services to have diverted traffic away from Epic Cash sites and converted Epic's business to its benefit.

Epic alleges that Zango had caused advertisements to appear when users attempted to access Epic's websites. The pop-up ads blocked the content on Epic's websites and promoted Zango's services, the suit said.

The suit, filed at Santa Clara Superior Court, moved on to the California Court of Appeals after FriendFinder appealed the lower court's decision denying its petition to force Epic Cash in arbitration because FriendFinder had affiliate deals with both Epic and Zango.

But on Monday the appeals court rejected FriendFinder's appeal, ruling the affiliate agreements forcing arbitration were outside the scope of arbitration causes.

"[B]ecause Epic's lawsuit was against not just Friendfinder but also [Zango], which was not a party to an arbitration agreement with Epic, and there was a risk of conflicting findings if Epic's lawsuit against that defendant proceeded in court while the Epic/FriendFinder dispute was arbitrated, the superior court had discretion to refuse to enforce the arbitration agreement," the court said in its decision.

Gary Kaufman of Los Angeles-based Kaufman Law Group, which represents Epic, said that Monday's ruling clears the way for the case to proceed in front of jurors.

?This is a big day for Epic Cash," Kaufman told XBIZ. "The court of appeal agreed with both Epic Cash and the superior court that this matter did not belong in arbitration. This now clears the way for Epic Cash to vindicate its claims before a jury and receive compensation for Zango and AdultFriendFinder?s wrongful acts.?

Epic Cash has asked for $750,000 in damages in the case filed at Santa Clara Superior Court.

FriendFinder officials did not immediately respond for comment on the suit.

No, its Pimpdogg driving the litigation in regards to what happened when he owned Epic. Lars bought the keywords for epiccams.com for his zango campaigns so that when users came to epiccams it would pop over the screen a cams.com page. Looks like Trey is willing to take it to the higher court since he's already won in the lower court and doesn't want to arbitrate with AFF.

Good for Epic Cash. AFF was on some shady shit with all of that.

Are you serious? Size does not dictate profitability.

If it did, banks wouldn't have needed bailouts and Countrywide and Lehman Brothers would still exist.

Zango the Return. A lot of affiliates and programs got screwed on that deal. It's hard to believe people supported doing business like this.
