the real deal about what happened

Basically, I was working at Python for just under two years when one of the Managers, Heather Bell, had asked me to do a backup of the naughty list..

So i went on about downing the the emails, since there were a few million email address this would take a while to do because the process could not be automated and the system access to the lyris system was to be removed soon.

I started off by downloading everything from the office and when my time there was done i went home and continued working from home downloading everything before the access to lyris was revoked, this is when they had GZGreen running their lists.

Anyways, during that summer i had entered a joint venture with some ppl from python and these other two chicks, the lesbians i spoke about in a previous message, well, lets just say that the business relationship went sour one day and i cut my ties with everything which was happening.

Now, to make a long story short, one day they log into an account which i had not removed (forgot about) and downloaded the list. The original reason they had access to the machine was to upload site design, not go downloading emails/work i was doing.

Anyways, to make a long story short, it turns out that these people who took the list from me were actually spamming the list and trying to broker the list to other people, which one of them ended up going back to python and telling them about it, which i am glad they did since it was never my intentions for this to happen.

When the court case came my lawyer explained to me my options and that i could fight it, take the chance of losing and having to pay a settlement plus a nice sized lawyer bill or he could settle for a small amount, small lawyers bill and be done with it.. So instead of taking the gamble (i had shitty luck lately) and ending up hundreds of thousands in debt i opted for the quick/cheap way out of it all..

I understand some of you would have fought it but you probably have the money to burn to fight a huge porno company i didnt and i didnt feel like owing a shitload of money.
