In 1998, an Internet User known by the alias "Bile", posted thousands of copyrighted COLOR CLIMAX works to Usenet News.

After numerous warnings from the COLOR CLIMAX Legal Department and their outside lawyers, COLOR CLIMAX sued "Bile" in the U.S. District Court in New York.

"Bile's" response was the following:

"You have no idea who you are fucking with. I suggest you take that little lawsuit and run."

COLOR CLIMAX did NOT run. In the law suit filed on July 31, 1998, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered the following order:

 

1. That Defendant be permanently enjoined from infringing or aiding in the infringement of Plaintiffs' copyrighted works.

2. That Defendant provide accounting for all gains, profits and advantages that he derived from infringing Plaintiffs' copyrights.

3. That Defendant turn over to the Court and to Plaintiff's attorneys a list of all customers to which he sold Plaintiffs' intellectual property.

4. That Defendant turn over to the Court and to Plaintiff's attorneys CD-ROM recorders, personal computer(s), modem(s), and hard disks.

5. That Defendant's domain name "bilesasylum.com" have its registration cancelled with Network Solutions, Inc., the domain name registrar.
