http://www.techfirm.com/yahoocomplaint.pdf. Good that they did not really name the company. If this complaint is right, no one can take casino ads.

This could be bad news Gary... hmmmm

Aly-Python · 08-04-2004, 10:56 PM

Gosh... Sorry to hear that one, Gary. Good luck with the suit.

psyko514 · 08-04-2004, 10:59 PM

that's not a fucking lawsuit. that's a novel.

BRISK · 08-04-2004, 11:00 PM

This will be interesting to see what the outcome is. Please keep us updated.

KC · 08-04-2004, 11:00 PM

To Summarize...

Some guy from Scotts Valley, CA lost $100K by gambling online and he doesn't want to pay.

He accepts no responsibility for his actions and instead is blaming the search engines.

What a Dipshit.

The USA has always been a bit bizarro about online casinos all along... so nothing surprises me about this.

KC · 08-04-2004, 11:02 PM

On the bright side Gary, at least he grouped you with the big boys!!!

You know you've made the big time when you get named in a suit with Yahoo! and Google ;)

Is he by any chance a dentist? Because as you know I am a raging anti-dentite.

Yeah, and if he won there'd be no problem, people like this need to be shot in the fucking head.

It's almost as bad as paying $0.80 for a fresh cup of coffee - spilling it on your lap and then suing McDonald's for $200K because it was too hot.

Gary. Move offshore. There is no reason to operate from within the U.S.

frankfortuna · 08-04-2004, 11:13 PM

Discovery Communications recently had 3.2M seized by the government for accepting advertising money from a Costa Rican outfit.

If you read the lawsuit, it is specifically geared towards websites headquartered in California.

Gary, have your attorney check into the recent WTO decision which ruled that the U.S. (and States) had no right to ban internet gambling because it is considered an internationally accept form of business.

Magg · 08-04-2004, 11:19 PM

Basically theyre trying to say that doing something over the Internet is the same as doing it in your hometown. Its an odd concept and one thats not been fully explored legally. If an online casino is in Dublin, is it illegal to access it from CA if gambling is illegal there? I dont think this will go through because the accepted (at least as far as I know and *I AM NOT A LAWYER*) is that such a test does not stand up. If, however, the casino is based in CA, there IS an issue as the business being conducted is relevant to the state laws at hand. *shrug* .02

TheMob · 08-05-2004, 01:36 AM

the mcdonalds analogy doesn't even do this justice..

this is like spilling hot mcdonalds coffee and suing everyone that sells coffee, even the coffee farmers in south america. and while he's at it why not sue amazon, i'm sure they sell coffee machines, and coffee table books.

Gary, you aren't a big player until your company has been sued at least 25 times. You are an expert on lawsuits. Tell your attorneys to kick some ass.

$200k? That old bitty got millions. $20 million plus I think. For some reason, $40 million pops into my head...but I could be off there.

>Actually, what usually happens is that the jury awards some rediculous amount, then in appeals (which you don't hear about) it gets knocked down to about a tenth of the original amount.

For example - I bet everyone knows about the woman who sued McDonald's and won $3mil for hot coffee right? I bet you don't know that a) it was appealed and she got just inder $300k (a far cry from 3mil) b) that particular McD's was written up at least 3 other times for serving coffee too hot c) there were many other complaints on the same thing(too hot coffee) at that location. d) the money she got barely covered her medical bills (she had 2nd and 3rd degree burns in her crotch and had to have several runs of transplant surgery to replace damaged skin....

California seems to make gambling a 'really big deal. I noticed in the slot machine ads on Ebay (even the fake kind) that no one will ship a machine to California..... Many name a few other states - but California is in every add.

american needs to end litigation all together and allow people to carry guns, chains and baseball bats with them everywhere they go.

The attorney for 2 of the guys suing Gary is Ira Rothken.

In our New Destiny/HomegrownVideo vs CECash/Trade News litigation, he is the attorney for CECash/Trade News.

An all-around scumbag, in my opinion.

Motivated by Indian Casinos, maybe?
