:I must have missed something, what's his beef with Powrachute?


My assumption (and it's just an assumption) it that it's Standard Zoom
Business Tactic #1 - get them to run some ads, when the contract runs
out keep running the ads, bill the company, sue when they don't pay.


Complicating this one is the fact that Powrachute was sold to new owners just
before Zoom filed his suit:

Wouldn't THAT have been a pleasant surprise...getting served at their first air
show?

One can imagine their problems in trying to defend something like this. They
may just settle and then try to get the money back from the previous owner. The
new cases were filed in Circuit Court, which means the claimed damages are
greater than $15,000.

For the trading card collectors out there, Zoom's attorney in the two new cases
is the same one as in his SnF lawsuit. The previous suits, against Pulsar and
RAF, had a different attorney. They were in County court and were for quite a
bit less.

They sue him right back for filing a harassing lawsuit. Then again,
anyone winning against zoom would get very little. Maybe the winner can
make something out of ANN. Other than that they will get a little money
from zoom, some personal posessions and his boy toy yawn.
