A portion of this article relates information regarding case BRIO Corp. v. Spruce Caboose, NAF Case No. FA0205000114419.

The actions mentioned were apparently made by the respondent in the case, Daniel Sobottka prior to May 2002, when the complaint was filed. Over two years before this article was published. 

A simple "whois" query would have shown that the respondent is no longer registrant of the sprucecaboose.com domain.  The respondent in the case sold the domain to another party over a year prior to this article, without disclosing either the arbitration or the results of it.

The new party had no prior knowledge of the arbitration or the activities which initiated it. The current owner of the domain has no relationship with the prior owner subsequent to the purchase. Publication of this information without listing dates may be detrimental to the current owner, who has operated with high ethical standards.

It would be valuable if case dates and a disclaimer mentioning such changes be included when necessary.
