Failing to honor a non-compete contract is probably a civil breach of contract matter.

Stealing a trade secret is a CRIME in 46 states under 18 U.S.C. Â§ 1832.

To me it seems these ad companies that buy domains just to have advertising are scummy companies anyway. They lock up a crap load of domains just to throw up disgusting cookie cutter holder ad pages.

Patricia, I’m sure the penalty they’re paying and the publicity of the case will be enough punishment.

I’m sure they signed a non-compete, especially a VP. It would have been one thing had they just decided to create some web sites of their own, but allegedly they copied code from Marchex to develop the sites.

It never ceases to amaze me how STUOPID some people can be… and Dishonest…

You don’t take a former employers ANYTHING for personal gain… geez…

Seems like they would have had to sign some sort of non-competed clause upon hiring and now be in a court-actionable status…

No ??

Yes ??
