After reading this, I decided to email the folks at Etoys.com, and here's what I wrote:
To Whom It May Concern,
I have recently read several articles concerning your company and it's lawsuit against eToy.com. In hopes that what these stories purport is false, or maybe mis-represented, I would like to ask you what you stance is concerning eToy.com, and what actions you have taken against them.
The articles concerned were :
http://slashdot.org/yro/99/12/01/2156208.shtml
http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/9948/barliant .shtml
These articles do not show your company in a good light, and it is believed that a great offense against the community at large has been committed by your company. This is the lowest and worst type of internet abuse, at least what's reported in the articles. Please debunk these statements if they are untrue.
-----
Anyway, the idea was to see what they'll say. I figure you give em a chance to air their side of the story, although Im not terribly optimistic.
Anyway, don't send email to legal@etoys.com, it won't get there. Use service@etoys.com, or so their mail servers, to get to them.
If I get a response, I'll ask them to allow me to post it, or I'll just paraphrase and put it up. Enjoy.
