It seems to be a common US assumption that their law, view of the world and desires applies to anyone they want, where ever they are.

I'm seeing the reverse? He wanted to sue in the US, but was blocked by a UK High Court.

That was the outcome, I was pointing out the intention.

I don't get the reference. The story described a case where the US law (jurisdiction, really) did not apply?
EDIT: Never mind...I was late to reply and missed the response. That said I would not conflate this one case with a general rule.
Oh.

Correct. Maybe you haven't heard, but USA is #1. It's been all over the media.
Everyone wants to live here because our women are beautiful and our liquor is made in sanitary distilleries and not in the trunk of a Trabant or a filthy Saudi basement somewhere. Get with it, man.
And it's cool, baby! We've got room for everyone! You don't need an invitation, just show up. You can stay on my couch until you get one of our high paying jobs and a place of your own on the beach.

That's probably the result of gazing at MJP's photo-insert... or should I say "staring?"Reading this got me all pumped up. I think XenForo, Kier, et al, are in great hands
Anyways, I really am not worried one iota about the copyright claim or my XenForo licenses. Others have looked at the code who are very much "in the know" and think that the situation here is only about whether there might be money damages due to contract, that's it. From reading the briefs anyone could conclude easily that XenForo is in very capable hands.

Who's to doubt such a thing anyway? I'd be hard pressed to believe that Kier, Mike, and Ashley would put their future (and by extension, ours) into the hands of just anyone.

It does, certainly does suggest that IP are claiming that Kier / XF effectively accessed computers the he/it didn't have rights to do so, after IB openly said he had full & unfettered access to their networks.That makes interesting reading.
Riiight, so someone you gave full & unfettered access, because he was an employee, you're now suing for accessing said networks?
Bizarre. Anyway, what's the mention of April 4th for in the filings, is that when the case is next heard?
even more bizarre that they're claiming XF did it when XenForo Ltd didn't even exist at the time!

That will come up as a red flag for the judge - and will look frownly at iB for accusing Darby and Co. for making that claim. Even as a company, I would not make that claim. Because its a lil contradictory, they were employees of iB [in iB's terms] and those meetings with iB? More than likely, they allowed HIM to use the computers for vb4 programming. Its just a dumb claim by iB.
April 4th is the date they will be continuing the lawsuit.
That claim is bizzare. And btw, getting your company legal takes a month for it to get it into the legal system. So this claim could just be dismissed faster than they can argue it.
A year ago, I created a business license for my company, I changed the name of the entire network from CarlosX360 Network to CarlosX360 Co. Ltd. The license expired in July of 2010, and I still used the company's name, in october, I fully incorporated the company, but I still used the name - the name did not become fully legal until December. So, basically, iB just shot themselves in the foot by making this claim.
BTW, I loved lookin' at that babe in this page... There should be a babes thread.
