Brian,
This lawsuit against Xfire is going to bring some bad press in Yahoo's direction.
I will be covering it in Computer Games Magazine. I would love to follow up the
first article with a nicer piece. All I will do is present the facts in the case,
which make Yahoo look like a big bully trying to push around the new kid. It's
obvious where my opinion stands on this issue, and I have 200,000 readers that
will attest to it.
Of course, this isn't a threat or anything. I just thought you may want to know
what the press pool is thinking about this issue.
Thanks,
~Kevin

To whom it may concern,
I find it highly unfortunate that Yahoo has brought about a lawsuit against the
team at xfire - it's quite obvious that Yahoo is doing nothing more than trying
to force them out of business or tip their hand for an Yahoo buy-out.
Unless Yahoo revokes its lawsuit and compensates xfire for any legal fees it may
have to spend, I'll have no problems at all telling our 900,000+ readers to use
your competitors products. Competition is a great thing for everyone, and as a
voice of influence, we have no problems referring our readers to products and
services we feel do the community in which we serve help them and not bring worthless
lawsuits against others.
Best Regards,
