: A Fortune international 500 and a hugely profitable global corporation is using its limitless resources to bully one of its US minority shareholder to teach a lesson to the small investors community.

: On April 16th 1999, I have registered the DNS "...net" for the purpose of setting up a website based in the USA dealing with the strategy of this corporation and the effect of e-commerce on the future of this company.

: I have been served papers to appear in court in Nanterre (France)to respond to a double accusation :
: - trademark infringement because of the DNS
: - libel because one page of the site voices doubts about the strategy of the company.

: A...is a co-defendant in this case for having registered my site in their search engine. (But not Y... which was certainly the most effective to facilitate the navigating towards my site).
The facts have to be examined carefully. It is a truth that you can be right and lose because you can't afford to litigate. The law was always like that. It used to be a lot worse ages ago.

: The case was presented to a tribunal in France to create maximum financial outlays and inconvenience to the defending parties, to benefit from the company influence and pull on the French bureaucratic judiciary system and to take advantage of the current wave of anti-Americanism which is sweeping France at this time (following the repeated condemnations of the European Union by the World Trade Organization)

: Furthermore, they are asking for more than US$ 500 000 in damage reparation, the unlimited payment of legal expenses and the free transfer of the litigious DNS.

: I guess that I have better to buy a plane ticket to go and hide in some far away country and start a new life, rather than fight them, even if what they are doing is extortion from my perspective.
