Local Utility Threatens me with Lawsuit for CB Internet Interference.
Hi, The local utility here has a ISP service via the power lines and I
have a CB station that I like to talk on at night. Yesterday I received a letter from a law firm threatening to sue me if I don't cease my CB operations in ten days. I don't run illegal amps or anything. Does anyone know if what they are threatening me with is legal? |

In the US (and some other places) you can sue for just about anything, including "I don't like the color of your shirt". Winning such a suite is a separate issue, and I am sure this will be debated with about 579 posts while it becomes a liberal vs conservative arguement. You mean a "code" versus "no code" discussion..... ggg -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Yeah, and probably also gun control and how Radio Shack sucks. -- Jim Pennino Remove -spam-sux to reply. |

Besides, BPL should be "Must accept interference from legal radio services and not cause them any interference". Actually, BPL just should not be.... |

If the guy's system is legal, can the ISP bring and win an interference based suit? 73 de Bert WA2SI |

Sadly, it appears that it has become standard (accepted) business practice to "win the war" by allowing the smaller individual plaintiff to wage a battle that the larger defendent will just draw out indefinitely while said plaintiff literally "dies on the vine." I have seen this up close and personal and lemme tell ya...it ain't pretty. Justice and truth get thrown right out the window. He needs to get a competent lawyer to explain it to all concerned. I agree and would add that it should be a competent communications attorney. Grab a Tech ticket, join the league, and ask their legal department for some guidance. BPL is a pretty hot issue nowadays so I bet you'll get a serious and concerned response. 73 es GL de Bert, WA2SI |
