It is going to be hard for Microsoft to tie Alpha Red to Registry Cleaner XP and James - James is only listed as an employee of Alpha Red and not as the CEO http://www.alphared.com/contact.cfm
Microsoft has deep pockets and has not been shy about filing civil suits under Washington's Computer Spyware Act. Since 2005, Microsoft has filed 17 lawsuits to fight spyware. Knowing this, people who are hosted with Alpha Red are scared and jumping ship - some will hold on to see what happens.

I know plenty of people who own businesses and are not the CEOs, they do a poor job at management so they let someone else run their company from that stand point.
The lawsuit is against him.. i'm pretty sure if Microsoft and the Washington state AG did their homework and james is connecting to ownership in some way or form or they would not of said what they said in a PR.
