Privacy.net sues microsoft, Cisco, Comcast, and TRUSTe - what a whammy! Why? - Well these bigshots have slung their weight at the wrong guy, they placed the owner of privacy.net on several spam blacklists, and will not remove him, even though this person does not, and never has hosted any sort of bulk emailing, mailing list, or commercial mailing systems. The accused are accused of eavesdropping on digital communications and placing this person's/company's networks on several blacklists, and all refuse to remove him.
Spam blacklisting is a big deal, I fight it on a weekly basis, while nearly all of my customers use blacklists to block spam, a great deal of them have also been placed on these same blacklists, usually removal is easy, sometimes, impossible. Just a couple of weeks ago a customer using gmail was unable to send mail to another user on RoadRunner internet, RR completely denies any blocking, although all mail is simply dropped without return or delivery - it's companies like this that think some users are just too small to matter that truelly deserve these lawsuits.
