Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Federal Court Certifies Nationwide Class Action Against Papa John's Pizza for Spam Text Messages
Potential damages are over $250 million for unwanted text messages sent to Papa John's customers across the United States

SEATTLE, Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 9, 2012, United States District Court Judge John C. Coughenour certified a nationwide class action case against Papa John's International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZA) with potential damages over $250 million.  The lawsuit is brought on behalf of Papa John's customers across the United States who were sent unwanted text messages that advertised Papa John's pizza. 

The ruling paves the way for what could be one of the largest damages awards ever recovered under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act.  The class action lawsuit contends that 500,000 illegal text messages were sent to Papa John's customers across the country.  Papa John's customers could be awarded $500 or more in statutory damages for each text message. 

Erin Chutich, one of the plaintiffs in the case, stated, "After I ordered from Papa John's, my telephone started beeping with text messages advertising pizza specials. Papa John's never asked permission to send me text message advertisements."  Chutich added, "Hopefully, this will be an important victory for consumers.  Our lawsuit is about keeping spam from spreading from our email to our cell phones."

Attorneys representing Papa John's customers agreed.  Donald W. Heyrich, who represents consumers in spam text message lawsuits, stated, "Many customers complained to Papa John's that they wanted the text messages to stop, and yet thousands of spam text messages were sent week after week."  Heyrich added, "This should be a wakeup call to advertisers.  Consumers do not want spam on their cell phones.  If you do not have permission from your customers, do not send them text messages. It's as simple as that."

Heyrich Kalish McGuigan PLLC represents consumers in class actions regarding spam text messages and illegal telemarketing.  A copy of the court decision is published at www.telemarketingattorneys.com.  For more information contact Donald W. Heyrich at (888) 593-5370.
