Read the EULA. There will almost certainly be enough legal butt-covering in there that your suit will be futile.\n\nYour best bet is to find a hacker friend who can figure out what it does, and possibly a way to turn it off. It may be some sort of anti file sharing program, or it may just be some stupid quick-launch thing to make it more convenient.

Their defense will be that you knowingly used their services.  By making a payment you agreed to the contractual agreements.  I don't think you will win this one with such a defense.  Sorry.

From what it sounds like yeah you defenitely have a case. i think just threatening them that you'll go to court with it might work. if not try getting free lawyer advice.\nhttp://www.prepaidlegal.com/ check ut this site. It's cheap and my family uses their services. they've been quite good so far

Contact the company that made the game. They can usually get you a new one.  Requesting someone to give you thiers is illegal and can get you arrested.

Dear Friend,\n\nSounds to me like you should be suing the Lane Bryant corporation!  They are sending that filth into your home knowing that it will be used to perpetrate this heinous act.  Also DEEEEEEEP pockets!\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

What you are running into is a "cease and desist" tactic, which is sometime used by businesses to scare off potential threats.  There are two things you should know:\n1) You can not be charged criminally if you haven't committed a crime; and\n2) they wouldn't have warned you if they have evidence of you committing the crime.  They would just close you down.\nTherefore, you can assume these are just threats.  You should handle this in this manner:\n1) Get a lawyer that deals with business law.  If you can not afford one, go to the Small Business Administration and ask for a referral for an attorney that does pro bono work.  Possibly, someone in their office may be able to help you.\n2) Write back to the company.  Request any proof they may have of you committing fraud and offer to prove that you are not at blame for this matter.  DO NOT BE ACCUSATORY!  Hot heads will lead to an explosion here.\n3) If you can make no headway, talk to your lawyer about proceeding with harassment charges against the business.\n\nUsually, if you can show that you can not be pushed around, and if their claim is truly false, they will back off.  Good luck!

RealPlayer is ill-mannered software; it makes all kinds of ugly registry changes and nags you constantly to upgrade.  Consider the freeware RealAlternative instead: http://www.codecguide.com/download_real.htm

write them an email that says that you are going to have your lawyer contact them.   if that doesn't work, have your lawyer contact them.\n\nbut really, once you put something on the internet, it's out there, potentially forever.  be carefull what you post

Absolutely zilch! A furniture co. recently took my money, never delivered products worth 2500.00, then closed up shop. 2 months before close, I knew this was going to happen because the owners kept ducking me. So, I contact BBB. A bunch of mumbo jumbo---we're right on it. We'll file a report. ZILCH. By the time they got to my case, the store was shutdown. If you really want a better shot (also depends on the circumstances), call local authorities. I am dead serious. I called the DA's office here in SF--the consumer fraud division--those guys are on shady business practice sooo fast. Again, not sure what your situation is or how much but take care of it before the possibility of those scrupulous owners filing bankruptcy. When that happens, you are as good as SOL.

Go to your local county court and sue him in small claims court (up to 5000).\n\nThen file numerous complaints against him at Better Business Bureau, badbusinessbureau.com. \n\nAlso start a website and detail your experiences. Make sure the site pulls up under google etc.

Hey icemike.  Sad but ramrod may be right.  I had to take a former co-worker/friend to small claims court.  First you have to go to the closest district court (probably to where the modeling agency is in this case or maybe to your house) and fill out some forms (need to explain the issue, need to know the address/phone number etc of the modeling agency,etc) and pay a filing fee (it may be around $70 and the defendant is forced to pay this back to you if you win the case).  My case was a couple of months after I filed and the defendant never showed up so I automatically won the case.  Tried having their wages garnished but they quickly quit their job.  Next I tried to have any bank savings seized but you needed to know where they banked (luckily I did but they didn't have any cash).  Then I went back to the court to seize any property (car/real estate/etc) that the person owned but the court could find nothing (car was leased, house was in exes name,etc.).  Each step I took was @$75 more and a year later I still haven't collected anything of the $3,000 verdict (the max in Michigan small claims-defendant actually owed $5,000 but I didn't want to bother with lawyers and a longer court process) plus the increased costs of each attempt to collect(technically the defendant will have to pay all these fees too). Basically, the defendant skipped town and it has become my responsibility to track defendant down (believe me the court has been absolutely no help); I have 20 years or more to collect (plus interest is supposedly accumulating on the amount owed) but right now I don't see that happening.  You may want to go file a complaint with a government agency like the Better Business Bureau instead.  Another thing is to look at the contract, it may not say any jobs are guaranteed and, in that case, your friend is probably screwed; I know recently a "modeling agency" notified me to come work for them as a "scout" where basically people paid you to register them as models but no work was ever guaranteed for these people; it sure sounded like the "agency" was scamming both the "models" and "scouts" because the agency took a good cut of the money and probably left the scout with all the legal liabilty.  The only other option I can suggest is to go to the modeling agency, if they actually have an office nearby, and tell them you are going to protest/picket(I'd check with the police or someone first to see how to do it legally) and or possibly put an ad in the paper(s) explaining your dealings with them to the public(I'd see a lawyer or someone before doing it though to make sure you can't be sued for slander).  Perhaps the possible negative press/scaring away of further "customers" will be enough for them to give you your money back. Good luck!
