Earthcomber has sued TechCrunch for no apparent reason other than trying to get free press.

President Jim Brady of Earthcomber has been desperately trying to get Michael Arrington on the phone but hasn’t been able to, so he decided to sue TechCrunch instead.

I think it’s a great idea actually for guerilla marketing, too bad Michael got pissed off:

Did Earthcomber also sue iMeem, RockTheVote and NRDC, the other filtered search options? No. Because that doesn’t get them all this free press.

We will not be bullied, and people who file frivolous lawsuits need to be put down. I would rather run TechCrunch into the ground and go out of business than let this guy win.

I don’t think you need to react that way, it’s only going to give Earthcomber more free marketing, that’s what they were going for, Michael should have not even posted the blog post if he really wanted to shut Earthcomber down.

Well, maybe it’s already part of his plan, all paid for by Earthcomber months ahead.  Now that would be some serious bullying on the readers like myself.

This reminds me of that Palin hacker, I don’t think it’s the guy being indicted, it’s some random hacker outside the U.S. who probably made the FBI “think” it’s someone traceable.
