This is why we're going to sue softlayer.com: evidence.

Frankly, after a few weeks, I've decided I've had enough.

Several emails (no dice), note that all the requests have been blocked...and, this is just from the last 24 hours.

Facts:
1) Unauthorized crawling is ILLEGAL in the state of California, the company that's getting crawled to shit always wins the lawsuit.
2) Softlayer.com is going to get sued, shortly, by FunAdvice, LLC, becuase they won't stop.
3) We can easily prove both lost revenue, negative impact on our business and more.
4) I'm sick and tired of companies thinking that it's OK to data mine the crap out of others..we block robots all the time. We expect that, if we block you, it doesn't happen again.
5) If we contact you multiple times, and you still don't give a shit, you deserve the reaming that the law firm will give you.
6) Anybody know a good law firm? I'm shopping aronund now...it's a slam dunk of a case, and, an important precedent for the internet as a whole.

See the logs below...we're making this public to be transparent and to fight for what's right.
