Anyone else catch this off of AVNonline?

"Although Cyberheat defended the case vigorously throughout and remains convinced that it would have won at trial, it ultimately settled the case for just over $400,000, a fraction of the amount demanded and obtained by the government in similar lawsuits involving CAN-SPAM. According to Wellborn, ‘Cyberheat's three-year battle included a number of hard-fought victories vindicating the rights of Cyberheat and its affiliates. Nonetheless, as the cost of settling decreased, as the cost of defending continued to grow, and as the negotiated deal moved farther and farther from the onerous terms the government typically demands and gets in these cases, it became prudent to settle.' The settlement was also made possible by Cyberheat's planned departure from the business of owning and promoting websites."
