My very quick read of the complaint is that it accuses Purdy of registering teenwire.biz and teenwire.info. Planned Parenthood runs operates.com and owns the trademark on the word. Teenwire.info redirects to http://www.savebaby.com/ppfa.htm and includes a disclaimer and a link to the official site. Underneath that disclaimer is a "Planned Parenthood: Fetal Assassination" logo and HTML that is borrowed from plannedparethood.com. Teenwire.biz does not redirect and does not include a disclaimer. Planned Parenthood is making the usual claims in SDNY and asking for an injunction against Purdy and co-defendants. Here's a copy of the Planned Parenthood complaint: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/purdy.planned.parenthood.103103.pdf When last we heard from Purdy: http://www.politechbot.com/pipermail/politech/2003-October/000101.html -Declan --- From: "William S. Purdy" <william.purdy@private> To: "Declan McCullagh" <declan@private> Subject: Fw: complaint Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 01:09:56 -0500 [snip -DBM] Here is the Complaint as it has been sent to me just now via email. The ONLY two domain names in the Complaint that I own are <http://www.teenwire.info>www.teenwire.info and <http://www.teenwire.biz>www.teenwire.biz. A short while after being served the Complaint I registered in Germany <http://www.ppfa.info>www.ppfa.info. Teenwire.info is currently being hosted in Germany at Joker.com as is PPFA.info. But I originally registered Teenwire.info and Teenwire.biz at <http://www.Directnic.com>www.Directnic.com which is based in New Orleans as far as I know. But I transferred Teenwire.info to Joker.com in Germany around the same time I bought PPFA.info at Joker.com in Germany and so that is where those two are being hosted right now. Although my ppfa.info is not in the Complaint, they have told me that they are going to include it soon. Questions: If they are correct and the domain names teenwire.biz (and formally the teenwire.info) were being hosted in New York, does that then give them jurisdiction over me? And if so, would they have jurisdiction over me on the ppfa.info which is being hosted in Germany? And would they still have jurisdiction over me on the Teenwire.info domain name which originally was registered and hosted by Directnic.com but has since been transferred to Germany? I just wanted to give you all the facts as best I can because I have learned that you check every detail out thoroughly so that when you opine you know what you're talking about.
