CBoC made Mr. Curtis Cooks look like Mr. Wayne Crookes
Curtis Cook should sue them and go for as much as possible.
I’m surprised no one else said this.
But I bet many sure as heck thought it.
Imagine if one of us regular folk put out a “funded”, plagiarized and made up paper (or blog) then put Wayne Crooks Name on it (or Anne Goldens)?

If people can be sued for merely posting a link, then Mr. Curtis can make a killing here.
Wonder how many people read this reports with Mr. Curtis’ name on it.
I wonder how loud the “funder” laughed at this.
Full public distribution of made-up rubbish with Mr. Curtis’ name on it.
No full apology.
How sweet.
P2Pnet has been sued for less (or “funders” have tried).
But I guess regular non-funded people don’t have this type of opportunity.
