LOLOLOLOLOLISSIMO!! Riley's at it again! -------------------- Subject: Shell, Mitchell, and Ulrich FOLD and settle Business Wire Suit!

Even though they lost their legal battles with BusinessWire, I love this spin doctoring attempt. listed below by defendant Mitchell. It does sound to me like they (Webnode 3) has lost much of their own PERCEIVED CREDITABILITY and are now nothing more than a group of low down, fraudulent press posters on the internet and other news media sources.

Is there something you don't understand about the fact that Bizwire is NO LONGER saying that we committed fraud, or that we violated their trademark? Lol, Riley: only YOU are saying that. Can you spell "libel"?

I keep seeing the word "victory" in these posts. The parties settled, and Jeff Mitchell's insurance company paid BW a bunch of money, so I don't think that "victory" is the correct term. BW still extracted a pound of flesh from the Webnode 3, with wasted time and effort, and I'm sure some money that will never be reimbursed. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy that this BW foolishness is over for the WN3, and I'm still appalled at BW's conduct, but this is not a victory. If BW had to pay all of the attorney fees and got smacked with a large punitive damage award, now that would have been a victory. This is more of a "whew, thank god this crap is finished."
