Now if you are talking about the charges only, you do have a ground (to get it fixed, not to go directly "sue them")  |
I could be wrong, since I'm not a lawyer, however *if* there are 10 fairly large sponsors who have documented proof *SnagIt allows you to screencap via video your every move on a screen, BTW* , meaning that the spyware installs itself, they click a link to a sponsor and instead of going to fabuloussexsitea.com it goes to theirfabuloussexsiteb.com - they can send a C&D to stop those practices and if they continue I do believe they have grounds to sue in a class action lawsuit for unfair business practices and for hijacking their business & if they can't do it on those grounds, I'm sure they can find members who tried to signup to fabuloussexsitea.com and got redirected and charged by theirfabuloussexsiteb.com.
Actually just quoting something from someone who worked as an expert in similar lawsuits against Gator:

The actual term for the sponsors could possibly be:
"Alleging false advertising, unfair competition, trade libel, and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage"
*But I'm not a lawyer and everyone should always seek legal counsel*
