Manwin taps high profile Harvard Law attorney as representation in anti-trust suit - GoFuckYourself.com

Bladewire · 11-17-2011, 10:05 AM

I thought this deserved it's own thread. Manwin and Digital Playground are serious about their allegations against ICM & ICANN as they've hired attorney Kevin E. Gaut to represent them. This is obviously NOT litigation to simply gain favor with the industry. Here is just some of their attorneys background:

Representative Matters

Currently defend world's largest bottling company in five separate wage and hour class actions.
Currently defend two major motion picture studios in a class action alleging that the studios discriminate against older writers.
Successfully represented major generic drug manufacturer in action against large international pharmaceutical company on antitrust, unfair competition and other claims. Case successfully settled after summary judgment obtained for client.
Successful defense of one of California?s top forty law firms in several multi-million dollar legal malpractice claims, including those involving tax shelters, real estate partnerships, and conflict of interest issues.
Successful defense of shareholders in a claim for fraud in the sale of a savings and loan association.
Successful defense of directors of savings and loans being sued by federal regulatory agencies for alleged multi-million dollar defalcations.
Obtained a preliminary injunction, and obtained determinations of liability of contempt, in a labor dispute involving a publicly traded apparel manufacturer.
Prosecution of claims for piracy of sound recordings in violation of copyright and trademark laws.
Representation of a major motion picture celebrity in a successful action for unauthorized use of the celebrity's name and likeness for commercial purposes.
Representation of a Canadian cable television company suing to prevent unauthorized reception in Canada of the satellite footprint of broadcasts by U.S. cable television companies.
Successful defense of two real property limited partnerships in a three-week arbitration of a several million dollar dispute.
Obtained a $1.7 million verdict for plaintiff in a two-week federal jury trial for fraud and breach of contract.

If that's not enough, the lawfirm he's attached to is MS&K who, among many other things, were representative in many anti-piracy, anti-trust & class action suits. FULL LIST HERE

So these are the big guns and serious business. My compliments to Manwin and here's to a positive outcome for you, and the adult industry as a whole. Thank you!

What has the word "taps" got to do with grammar? I'm not correcting anything, just saying how pathetic that word is.

So Manwin will get all of Lawley's money, neuter ICM and then buy more companies?

There is so much irony involved in this lawsuit (which I don't actually give a fuck about) that my pathetic little basket-case brain can't wrap itself around the idea.

Wait... Manwin wants to stop dot xxx from fucking over the internet so that Manwin can continue to have free reign to do it all by themselves, without any competition?

What am I missing here?

EddyTheDog · 11-17-2011, 02:41 PM

I am not from the US whats Anti-Trust?

I have heard the term a million times but never cared enough to ask before.

Also, wont there be major jurisdictional issues?

The suit was filed at the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles for a reason, even though ICM Registry is a Florida Corporation based out of Palm Beach Gardens
FL 33420 USA.

This isn't a case that needs to be heard in an EU court, they just need to stop them in the US of A.

If they can even stop them from selling domains for a period of time, it will be a win.

Well that will never happen even if Manwin/DP wins. Its all about to secure their own trademarks by a settlement plus the media attention they get.
