Oil tax campaigners reach compromise
2006-08-27
The campaigns for and against an oil-drilling-tax ballot measure settled a lawsuit over campaign Web sites without a single court hearing. The No on 87 campaign had sued the measure's proponents Tuesday in Alameda County Superior Court claiming the proponents violated the state's Political Cyberfraud Abatement Act, passed in 2001 to ban intentional diversion or redirection of visitors to political Web sites by political rivals. The suit noted the proponents had bought the Web domains http://www.noon87.com and http://www.noonprop87.org, and were using them to direct surfers to a site in favor of the measure. Other permutations ? like http://www.noonprop87.net ? were bought by the proponents and kept vacant, something known as "cybersquatting." Yes on 87 has agreed to give the Web sites to the measure's opponents.
