You know, it's weird Jerry, reading all of the comments here and over "there" - I was thinking the exact same thing!!
Internet Brands claims against XenForo

I am so disgusted with internetbrands I have for the past 1 hour and a half removed all my resources from their domain. (something thought I'd never do) That's 113 threads, several hundred packs tens of thousands of images removed.
Probably makes me as bad as them but then I never really did care what others think.
It just shows you the lengths these clowns will stoop to. Not only that they cannot accept their responsibility since the takeover of IB that they messed up in every way they could. Thik about building a product from the ground up rather than trying to make an easy buck off the people you serve.
Good on you Shelly - Don't blame you at all and I would do the same myself!

If there are less resources there and more here, if more designers stop posting there and more here, it will damage them in the long run. Because their customers will notice the grass is getting greener elsewhere

US courts have no jurisdiction over UK businesses. =P People make that mistake a lot. See: Guy who tried to get an injunction against CERN in a court in Hawaii, to be told... Um, This is Hawaii. We have no jursidiction over switzerland... =)
As XF is a UK based company no ruling in the US court system can be enforced.

The same in my country !
Companies have started a few years ago with putting this clauses "you cannot work for a competitor for several months etc" into employment-contracts, but later on law decided that those clauses are in fact illegal.
So even if those clauses are written into your employment-contract, they are not worth the ink.

All very confusing as long as u dont know exactly.
But i think i will buy xf, maybe, earlier i thought.
Better to sell the old vb license as long as u get money for it and no old fish only

I have deleted 2 posts responding to this as they were pure speculation made with no knowledge of the terms and conditions of the XenForo license agreement.

Again, if they are willing to go this low, they can go lower. It would not surprise me they launch another lawsuit from another front. Yes the US Courts do not have any power over UK Courts, but let's look closer. It's a two fold matter from where I stand.
Internet Brands is pursing legal action against XenForo Ltd., a UK firm. Since it's place of incorporation is UK, Internet Brands must pursue it in the UK Courts.
It also appears Internet Brands is pursing legal action against Kier, Mike, and Ashley for breach of employment contract. During their time with Jelsoft, an updated contract may have shifted the trial location from UK Courts to US Courts. This is where I'm concerned.
Cost vs benefit. IB is trying to bog XenForo down in litigation process knowing that XenForo don't have enough funds to go on with fighting in the court. This technique has been used before by internet behemoths. Ebay has successfully sued TeacherBay (?) because TB didn't have money to proceed any further.

Even if that were the case, that contract would only be legally binding in the USA, not the UK.

Brogan, i think it's best you let this topic run its course as most of the things in this thread are speculations.
The UK system protects companies from this happening to them.
I think it's best if you leave the moderating to me.

Not as much as you'd think actually
