Zango Temporary Restraining Order: Denied

For some reason, Zango going head to head with Kaspersky wasn't as widely publicised as the PC Tools thing. With that in mind, here's a sample:

"In its TRO motion, Zango asks for mandatory relief--i.e., that Kaspersky USA remove Zango from its list of suspicious websites and otherwise modify the anti-virus and other security software. The problem, however, is that Kaspersky USA has no ability to do so. The security software is designed, developed, and maintained by a Russian company, Kaspersky Lab ZAO ( Kaspersky Moscow ). Kaspersky USA is merely a non-exclusive distributor of Kaspersky Moscows products, is not an agent or subsidiary, and has no control over or ability to modify the software. Zango has sued the wrong company."

...they sued who on the what now?

Anyway, there's a lot of documents that have hit the net since yesterday about this so here's a handy timeline (minus time, so it's actually more of a list):

1) The original suit is filed by Zango against PC Tools.

2) PC Tools and Kaspersky respond to the TRO applied for by Zango. Here's a link to two PDF documents that set out the case for both of the above.

3) Zango's request for a TRO against PCTools against PC Tools is denied. You can tell it's been denied, because the document ends with the word DENIED in big letters.

4) Zango claim victory.

No word yet on the Kaspersky thing (as far as I can tell) but no doubt there's more to come on this story...
