arstechnica.com — Video Professor, a company that markets computer training videos through infomercials, is going after at least 100 anonymous online critics in federal court. The good professor believes that you can't "be anonymous and bash people" on the Internet.

Makes perfect business sense: sue the people that bought your product and felt ripped off. Er, wait...This is pathetic and I think he is going to end up with legal fees and nothing else, in the end. Let's hope.

The Professor must have gone to the same business school as AOL's Steve Case.

Looks like a terrorist to me. Maybe he used How to Make Bomb video from Video Professors Middle Eastern division.

"In addition, the compensation offered to Leonard for the considerable work that will be required to comply with the subpoena is totally inadequate."

So The Video Professor (the late-night infomerical "Try my product" dude, sued various bloggers and websites that were critical of their products and more importantly business practices.Its nuts. Its unamerican. It also is apparently a lousy lawsuit.The nonprofit law firm Public Citizen sent them this letter, and posted on their website. <a class="user" href="http://www.citizen.org/documents/videoprofletter.pdf">http://www.citizen.org/documents/videoprofletter.p ...</a>It is killer.Separately, I sawan article that ran on google news about a law firm going after Video Professor <a class="user" href="http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20071023006473&newsLang=en">http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/in ...</a> I guess they are filing a class action and offered to represent the people VP is going after for free. Check out www.vplitigation.com Pretty interesting.

I'm new to this and was wondering if you could share with me how to open this site. I downloaded it and can't open it. I have to admit, I'm one of "those" who hangs on by a thread when using computer. Thanks for your help
