A Case Juniper Can't Win?
Olga Kharif writes on Businessweek Online:
Juniper Networks filed an unusual lawsuit recently. On Dec. 14 the networking equipment maker filed a complaint with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, accusing 10 posters on an Internet message board of libel. The message boards are hosted on the telecom news Web site LightReading.com. As yet Juniper hasn't determined the defendants' legal names, and for now, it lists two of them under their aliases, "infranet_rulz" and "exJuniper981."
According to the complaint, in April, 2005, one poster allegedly wrote about Juniper that "the man at the helm seems to be paying [off] attorneys all over the bay area to cover up the scandal which resulted in the terminations of many at the top including VP of HR." Another post listed in the complaint states: "This is a very unethical company." Sound like your usual message board ravings making an elephant out of a mousehole, right? Juniper apparently didn't think so. As a result, it could be making its own elephant.
