Re: 2/28/01 - [TVCP] Status of Michael Zwebner vs. John Does Anonymous Foundation, Inc. and Does 1 through 100
Zwebner v. John Does 9/26/00 Chairman of Talk Visual Corporation, Michael Joel Zwebner, filed a ten-page complaint against John Does Anonymous Foundation, Inc., an Oregon non-profit organization which operates the johndoes.org web site, provides referral services, sponsors online message boards, and other educational and community services. The law suit generally alleges defamation in several formats.
A PDF copy of the law suit can be viewed here internetzorro.com (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required).
Also named as a defendant in the law suit was internetZorro (see paragraph 19). The law suit asks for $10 million in damages, although Zwebner is now asking the court for $18 million (see Declaration of Michael Zwebner below).
Meanwhile, internetZorro, having appeared in the case voluntarily, was evidently just too unbelievable for Plaintiff Zwebner to accept; Zwebner has filed a motion to have internetZorro removed from the case, claiming he never sued internetZorro
Zwebner has filed a motion for default judgment for $18 million against JDA. A prima facie evidence hearing will be required before a judgment will be considered by the court.

2/13/01 Zwebner demands access to John Does web server internetzorro.com. In a letter dated 2-13-01, Zwebner SLAPP attorney demands that JDAF give Zwebner a copy of the John Does Anonymous Foundation hard drive. This demand was dropped by Plaintiff following objections from the foundation.
