The
AHBL is a database of hosts that have been known to cause various forms of abuse
on the Internet which includes UCE/UBE/spam, Denial Of Service attacks, cracking
attempts, and much more.
The AHBL is built from various sources of data, which includes other spam
fighting services that we work with, as well as our own custom and exclusive
data sources to create a powerful and effective combination of abuse fighting
tools.

This
is an official statement made by the AHBL regarding the suit filed in
Texas Court by Richard Scoville. This statement has been authorized by
our legal council. On Saturday December 17, 2005, the AHBL was served
at it's Indiana address with a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and
Suit filed in Bexar County Texas Circuit Court. The suit seeks in total
3.525 million dollars in damage for Mr Richard Scoville, broken down as
follows:
$2,000,000 "For the loss of "benefit of the bargain" to
negotiate and
conduct business in good faith"
$1,000,000 "For the continuing damages to personal business credit"
$500,000 "For his emotional distress occasioned by the wrongful
acts set forth above, including the personal humiliation and embarrassment
in the Usenet portion of the internet"
$25,000 "For the costs incurred to constantly change ISP's and
the
escalating costs to maintain an ongoing business"
Very shortly the AHBL will put up a page and ledger requesting donations
to fight this case which is 1100 miles from the AHBL base of operations.
We will also be posting in PDF format over the next few days all public record
paperwork for this case. Your donations will be put to good use in defending
the AHBL and are greatly appreciated. Please note that the AHBL has never
been financially profitable and even with Google ads is run entirely
out of my pocket. Thank you for your consideration in this matter, I will
vet all questions posted here through council before answering them. Please
note that because of the TRO a removal of the "Free Speech Store" has
been in force since Monday December 19, 2005, in full cooperation with
said order.
