Legal Question in Technology Law in South Carolina

Internet Law - Google Adwords Issue

Hello,

Cease and diseased

I have gotten a summons in a civil action today about a website I was running.

I was buying the keyword of their business name to draw traffic to a review page that compared their product to another one.

The site was not slanderous at all and what was stated was fact.

I am not sure exactly how to respond to this. It says ''you must serve on the plaintiff an answer to the attached complaint or motion under rule 12 of the fed rules of civil procedure.

Does anyone have any advice? I think this is part of something bigger as others have tried to sue Google for infringement.

Any advice would be great or if you need more information just let me know.

Thank you!

Also, I did email the attorney saying that I have ceased and diseased the site and google adwords campaign.

I had no idea that this was this big of a deal. It was just a simple one page review site that is now causing all this trouble.

OK, you have to recognize that a law suit has been commenced against you. Informal response is NOT going to fix it. Consult with a local attorney (admittend in the federal District Court where the action has been filed) before you find yourself with a default judgment entered against you.

Best wishes,
