and caused significant damage to Business Wire's reputation... I do believe they'll have to prove that. The "irreparable harm" concept is important in these kinds of cases, as we've learned with AZNT. How will they prove it, do we suppose? I should think the only "damage" they're really capable of suffering is cancelled accounts. Did any clients cancel immediately following April first? Did they cite the Webnode spoof PR as the cause? I really really doubt that.
