Lopez Brothers named to Lead East Coast Surfing Team for 2nd Year at ‘X Games X’; Cory Lopez to Defend US Open Title…

Yes, it’s that time of year again – ‘Summer X’ is here!

Top Tampa Bay based Professional Surfers, Cory and Shea Lopez from Indian Rocks Beach, Florida have once again been selected to represent the East Coast of the United States in the 10th Annual Summer X Games Competition (X Games X) in Los Angeles California, August 5-8, 2004. 2004 marks the second consecutive year that Surfing has been included in Summer X. Both brothers earned Gold Medals for their exceptional surfing exploits in helping lead the East Coast to Victory last year alongside fellow Floridians Kelly Slater (6x World Champion) and Damien Hobgood. Participating in the X Games is considered by many in the surfing world to be a top honor and a possible prelude for surfing to one day be included in the Olympics, as has been the case for Surfing’s first cousin – Snowboarding. Considered by many, a long overdue honor for the widely acknowledged ‘original’ Extreme/Action sport.

Cory and Shea are top contenders on the ASP World Championship Tour. Both Lopez brothers will be featured this summer in the Official ESPN X GAMES 10th Anniversary Collector Card Series by Procore Sports. 2004 also marks the 25th Anniversary of ESPN – the celebrated Sports cable network. Both ABC and ESPN are part of the Disney media family.

If all goes according to plan, the X Games will be the first time this year that the older Lopez brother (Shea) will return to competition following recovery from a knee injury suffered during the Quarter Finals of the X Box Pipeline Masters, last December in Hawaii – the final event of the 2003 ASP contest season and 3rd Jewel of the Vans Triple Crown series. Cory finished up the 2003 ASP season rated # 9 in the World, whilst Shea wrapped up the season at #12 – two of the highest ranked Americans on the elite World Tour (and highest rated Floridians in ’03).

For the first time in X Games (10 year) history (summer), the event will air fully LIVE on ESPN and ABC. X Games X will feature 14 hours of original programming from August 5-8, with consistent programming windows at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on ESPN and a Sunday night primetime window on ABC. In addition, ESPN2 will present daily late-night highlight programs from August 6-9, resulting in 18 total hours of original programming for X Games X. A special waiver and event sanction is being provided by the ASP for top ranked ASP/WCT Athlete’s to participate in the X Games.

X Games X will return to the famed Huntington Beach Pier for Surfing and will feature the National Surf League’s (NSL) ‘The Game’ team format. Just prior to the X Games, Cory Lopez will defend his 2003 ‘Honda Element US Open of Surfing’ title July 24th to August 1st, 2004 at the same venue. The ‘Honda Element US Open of Surfing (presented by O’Neill)’ is North America’s highest rated World Qualifying event (WQS) and the world’s largest professional surfing competition. Cory – the nimble goofy footer from Florida’s West Coast, will be looking to get his groove on following an uncharacteristically slower than normal start to the year on the 2004 ASP World Championship Tour. Both Lopez brothers are known to be formidable competitors and are the only surfing siblings to share both an X Games Gold Medal and a US Open Championship – Shea won the event in 1999.

Safe Surfing Tool Web of Trust Sued over Community Warnings

Safe Surfing Tool Web of Trust Sued over Community Warnings











Web of Trust


Helsinki, Finland (Vocus/PRWEB) February 24, 2011

Ten Internet companies based in Florida have filed a lawsuit against WOT Services, the provider of safe surfing tool Web of Trust. The companies are requesting WOT to remove ratings and comments related to them and have accused WOT of defamation, violating rights, conspiracy and manipulating algorithms. WOT believes the case is baseless and has suggested dismissing the case in the court of justice in Florida.

According to court documents, the companies bringing up the case are Career Network, also known as Three Stars Media, Three Stars, Internetcompany, Internet-Company of Central Florida, Medialogic, Power Applications, MonkeyJar and Buzzgrub; headed by Mr. Ayman Difrawi, also known as Alec Difrawi, Michael Difrawi, Alec Defrawy, Michael Jensen, David Mellon, Alan Madison, David Katz, Alec Simon, Alexander Simon.

As well as bringing suit against the founders and CEO of WOT, WOT community members “John and Jane Does 1-100” are named in the document for alleged malicious, willful and intentional defamation. WOT hosts a site forum, which allows members to post comments and discuss website ratings, security and online safety. The WOT forum was used to discuss reports that Difrawi’s websites are “phishing” scams, whereby the websites attempt to acquire sensitive personal information by pretending to be a trustworthy entity. Difrawi’s lawsuit contends that all defamatory postings are based on these forum comments and wants WOT to remove all postings related to Career Network and collect damages.

If the case goes to court, WOT’s advocacy will be based on the Communications Decency Act (article CDA 230), legislated in 1996 for similar cases. The article protects Internet service providers from liabilities related to content created by third parties.

“These are important issues we’re dealing with,” states Vesa Perälä, the CEO of WOT. “The Communications Decency Act was created to protect freedom of speech, cultural, religious and political diversity, and trade on the web. The Internet has become one of the central battlefields of the liberty of speech and there are a lot of disagreements about what can and cannot be said or done online. Now and in the future we will rely on freedom of speech, transparency and objectivity when offering our users a channel to express their views freely, thus making the web safer for all.”

Using WOT, millions of web users from around the world rate websites according to their experiences, also exposing suspected rogue websites. WOT users have pinned down more than five million untrustworthy websites.

“Our users have rated more than 31 million websites. It is understandable that we encounter unhappy site owners whose websites have poor reputations. We know this man in question and his reputation quite well. We are not the first company he has brought to court,” says Vesa Perälä.

The WOT community consists of millions of web users that detect and report alleged scam sites effectively and quickly. WOT reputation ratings are updated every 30 minutes, thus spreading the word and shortening the life cycle of scam sites significantly. Consequently, those owning websites meant to cheat people have to invest more money for new domains, sites and services.

“WOT brings transparency to the web and makes it more difficult for scam sites to operate. Usually the motivation behind these law cases is fear of losing income. However, it’s better for the scammers to lose money instead of our users being scammed,” says Vesa Perälä.

About WOT Services Ltd.

Web of Trust (WOT) is a community-powered surfing tool that boosts trust on the Internet, by using authentic user experiences to help web users find reliable websites. By means of a free WOT add-on tool installed in the browser, Internet users can discern the quality of websites that they are about to access in terms of trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy protection and suitability for children.
