This reminds me of the teenager who sued Mcdonalds because she was fat or the lady who sued Mcdonalds because the coffee she spilled on herself was to hot.

Sue everyone!!! Sue Sue Sue!

how do you know the shares you aquired arent still going to pau you a percentage of the profits? all that has been said so far is that you just cant play there anymore.

Not that it matters anyway, cuz there is legally nothing you can do. Just be glad you are getting your money back

Actually she was badly injured. McDonalds *required* its franchisees to maintain the coffee between 170-190 F. That's 77-88 C for my international readers. Water at that temperature is very dangerous and instantly causes serious burns.

From the Pokershare T&C...

SCREW POKERSHARE AND UB. I just want my 1500 they got. Damn sure not answering any emails. Just reloaded on the 31st to get bonus. Its BULLSHIT they let you reload, knowing they are going to close your acct the next day. everybody is saying at least youre getting your money back. That fact remains to be seen. Everybody needs to boycott UB for letting them get away with this bullshit.

Well over here in Europe I give my coffee back if it's luke warm. I also don't make a habit of putting it between my legs and taking the top of in a moving vehicle so I can add milk. (I wouldn't do that with a normal mug, let alone a soft flimsy McD cup)If I would've done that I would have considered it a lesson, I certainly wouldn't sue.

Do you know how I make tea? I boil water and then pour it over the teabag in a mug. The water is then 100 degrees celcius so a lot hotter then the McD coffee. I then find a place to set the cup down and wait for it to reach the temperature I can comfortably drink it. At no point in time do I test if it's comfortable by depositing it in my crotch.

Of course her first mistake was ordering the bloody awfull coffee in the McD in the first place [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Sorry for the rant but I think that this is the no1 example that we're losing the ability to think for ourselves and totally rely on stupid signs like: "warning, coffee may be hot"

It's happening more and more in Europe too btw, I'm certainly not making this an "stupid Americans" thing.

It's what happens when government assumes more and more responsibility for people's personal lives. One must realize that these types of governments encourage this type of mindless litigation. They encourage mindlessness because this is the only way they have to stay in power.

Anyway, the whole Pokershare situation sickens me a bit. I don't know anything about the Pokershare business model, but it appears that they were offering the same product for a lower price and were killing UB in the process.

UB does not "deserve" its market share. It has to earn it, and it can be lost. This is a basic business principle.

I imagine reading the TOS would have made this blow much easier.

I wonder how many people actually read those things before checking the "I READ AND AGREE" box.
