Defamation Action League
The Defamation Action League was started in January 2007 by professional spammer William Stanley in order to force the shutdown of the websites Ripoff Report and duplicate Badbusinessbureau.com - consumer complaint websites run by Ed Magedson.
Methods
The Defamation Action League claims to be dedicated to fighting online defamation; however, the League has itself engaged in defamation to further its aims.
On May 11, United States District Judge Neil Wake in Arizona granted a restraining order against Stanley, prohibiting him from sending threats and harassing Xcentric's business partners. The restraining order also applied to the other defendants, Robert Russo (behind DefendMyName.com and verifiedcredible.com), the Defamation Action League, and the Internet Defamation League.
It didn't seem to make much of a difference. In a ruling on June 21, Wake said that "Stanley violated the temporary restraining order by knowingly sending spam e-mails that falsely disparaged...Jaburg & Wilk." Wake also noted that the site JaburgWilkSucks.com was created after the initial restraining order was granted.
