I think this is an interesting saga that could should set a precedent no matter the outcome:

1. Either the courts side with LaRussa and upholds this case of public impersonation. This means then that everybody else who has a similar case will begin to flood the courts (which could ruin Twitter).

2. Sides with Twitter, which means people can be impersonated and courts won’t pay attention to most cases. Twitter lives on!

Either way should be interesting…

I mentioned the verified accounts a few weeks ago and it seems like now they are finally doing something that should have been done awhile back. I don’t really think LaRussa has a case and in my opinion Twitter is making the right move. If Twitter would have settled so quickly with LaRussa then they would have had about 1000 lawsuits on their desk the next day. They are taking the right legal approach with fighting hard because it should deter many.

It's one thing for Biz to say these things are frivolous. But it obviously scared Twitter enough into announcing Verified Account, which was also mentioned in the post. jlbraaten's last blog post..Business-to-Business Email Marketing Strategy
