Interesting possibility: can somebody who lost money in E-connect sue Business Wire because they have publicly stated that they screen what they put on their site, thereby creating a contractual expectation, and when they moved an obviously false press release they breached that contract? It would be a fun lawsuit! Would smoke out BW in a big way, demanding copies of all press releases and statements they have made about the integrity of their service.

Hmmm -- anybody have $100,000 they want to throw my way to pursue the suit for them??
