E-commerce > X10 Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

X10 - equally famous for its surveillance cameras and popup ads - has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The move follows a $4.3 million judgement against the company for unlicensed use of popunder ad technology. In its filing, the company claims assets of $1 to 10 million, and liabilities of $10 to 50 million.

At one time, X10 was one of the biggest advertisers on the Internet. The advertising created a well-known brand name, but doesn't appear to have been cost-effective in driving sales.

Good! I'm glad we'll never have to see those ads again! Also good to see these companies being taken to task for unlicensed use of web programs.
