These Two Are Trying To Fool Each Other

One of them is probably telling the truth…

Craigslist files countersuit against eBay

“Craigslist filed a countersuit against eBay Tuesday, alleging that the Internet auction company engaged in unfair competition, trademark infringement and a slew of other improper activities.”

Do you think there was a chance in 2004 eBay knew that buying those shares from a former Craigslist shareholder would bring grief down the road? Yeah, I think they knew… kinda like when you do something behind someone’s back and they figure it out – you’re caught! But, you won’t admit it come hell or highwater!

I find this statement by eBay spokeswoman Kim Rubey rather telling in its plasticity: “The original agreement between the two parties always envisioned that there could be competitive activity.” Really? But I guess it was above (or beneath) eBay to communicate with Craigslists people about Kijiji to see if it would work for them. Naaah – I doubt they did that.

There might be a chance that these two will get into a shouting match before long – that is how children do it.
