To Whom It May Concern: The article below appeared in the San Diego Union and is copyrighted so I am not reprinting it in its entirety here. We all do want to be completely ethical now, don't we? I'm certain that any interested party may obtain the entire article from the Union. Don't get burned due to ignorance of the law. At least one of the court cases involved posters to an SI board. This is only the opening three paragraphs of a long, detailed article. >>Firm sues 8 Net users over derisive messages >>By Bruce V. Bigelow >>STAFF WRITER >>July 6, 1999 >>A little-known company with a U.S. office in Solana Beach has sued eight Internet users, alleging that they posted fraudulent and defamatory messages about the company in a conspiracy to manipulate its stock price. >>The messages, posted by individuals using aliases such as "trader14U," "Auric Goldfinger" and "realmoney," repeatedly mock the company, called ZiaSun Technologies Inc., as "Stinky Stock." >>An increasing number of companies have been complaining to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission about purportedly false messages posted to Internet chat rooms and message boards.
