Serial Metataggers! AOL, AMZN, YHOO and WMT need to see this: "2.1.4. Playboy Enterprises, Inc. v. AsiaFocus International, Inc. (Feb. 2, 1998)22.

(point is that Aol.Asia4sale et al as URLs are doing exactly the same this as AsiaFocus was doing and the same people are behind both companies, even though te fine has not been paid)

It is the first legal ruling resulting in a cash award23.

Facts : Playboy sued the operators of now-defunct Web sites for using "Playboy" and "Playmate" in their URLs
(<www.asianplaymates.com> and <www.playmates-asian.com>), in the site itself, and in the meta-tags24. The sites
were primarily designed as "click-through" sites, meant to capture traffic, then earn money by people clicking on
banners to porn destinations.

Complaint: federal trademark infringement, false designation of origin and unfair competition, federal trademark dilution,
common law trademark infringement and common law unfair competition.

Decision: the court found "a strong likelihood that the consuming public would believe that the defendants' Web site
was sponsored by or somehow affiliated with [Playboy] (...)25" and therefore granted the federal trademark
infringement cause of action. It also concluded the defendants were liable for dilution of Playboy's trademarks. It
subsequently awarded the plaintiff statutory damages of $3,000,000.

This case is very similar to Playboy v. Calvin Designer Label, except for the cyberstuffing that was used in the former
case. It involved competitors using plaintiff's trademarks for metatagging as well as other purposes.

How was AFSI formed? See this Raging Bull post which describes the shell game that got this thing public:

ragingbull.com

"

Lately, the management just made a very clever transaction. Someone starts Internet Venture
Capital in Indonesia then sold IVC shares to foreign investors in Asia and Europe. IVC then
acquired Asia4sale.com Ltd from ZSUN. ZSUN received $5,000,000 from IVC plus 30% of IVC
shares. IVC distributed Asia4sale.com Ltd shares to all IVC shareholders. Therefore, ZSUN
received back 30% of Asia4sale.com Ltd shares. ZSUN called this as a private party had
acquired 70% of Asia4sale.com Ltd., LOL. Someone then started a shell corporation,
Asia4sale.com Inc., in US. Asia4sale.com Inc acquired Asia4sale Ltd. in Asia. Asia4sale.com
Inc. started trading in OTCBB under the ticker symbol AFSI on Feb. 10, 2000. I am interesting
to see who are the mysterious person or persons behind this clever deal.

The most critical issue now is whether SEC will approve the 10sb before May 16, 2000. If not
the stock will be pinksheeted. The liquidity will be a serious problem."

Another RB post from onwhoknows re AFSI formation:
By: onewhoknows
Reply To: 18007 by Orlow Wednesday, 8 Mar 2000 at 1:59 AM EST
Post # of 18028

Orlow it is an interesting question an one I am not 100% sure of. According to the PR biz.yahoo.com there was 9,000,000 restricted shares issued to acquire A4S Hong Kong. The question is what did they actually get for 9,000,000 restricted shares. Ziasun has made no announcement regarding disposing of the remaining 30% that I am aware of.

If we assume 9,000,000 shares were issued and that equals 100% of A4S I would assume Ziasun retains
30% and the people who owned the Indonesian company that bought the 70% received 70% of the issued
shares. If and please note this is only a guess then it would seem that the Indonesian company outlayed
$5,000,000 to buy the 70% and when the US company bought A4S (HK) they received 70% of the
9,000,000 shares or 6,300,000 shares or at todays price worth around $60,000,000

At this point I am just guessing and maybe wrong but then these shares are restricted. I seem to remember
the name change involved a company with 1,000,000 shares. I sort of think that would be the unrestricted
shares but some of them may be restricted so I guess it is small to very small in the form of unrestricted. If I
am right I would expect a pop sometime down the road with a small float.

Note lot of guesses and maybes in this and I will try to get it better. This is intended for my use only and may
be wrong so all are advised to do own DD and not rely on any statements herein.

AFSI valuation calcs:

By: frisky
Reply To: 18074 by onewhoknows Friday, 10 Mar 2000 at 6:51 PM EST
Post # of 18078

You cannot judge AFSI's value by its market capitalization. When Asia4sale.com Inc. (AFSI) acquired
Asia4sale.com Ltd., it issued 9,000,000 shares for the assets that ZSUN people valued them at $7.1 million
($5million /.70=$7.14 million) Because AFSI is not a reporting entity yet, I have no idea that how may
shares of AFSI was kept by AFSI?s former shareholders. I don?t know who are them either. However, in
the past, the acquiring companies typically keep 30% of the acquired companies? shares. Therefore, AFSI
might have more than 13 million shares outstanding. AFSI?s market cap could be an astonishing $130
million. With only a few shares traded every day, this figure is very misleading. IMO, the bubble is waiting to
be burst.

This is another clever reverse-merger deal made by ZSUN?s backers, again and again. As long as the supply
of suckers is unlimited, you will see the same kind of deals springing up again and again.

The uniformed foreign investors who participated in IVC deal received 9 restricted shares of AFSI for each
share of Asia4sale.com Ltd. (9 million shares of AFSI/1 million shares of Asia4sale.com Ltd.) Although the
shares are restricted for one year, they may be happy to see their $7.14 per share investment is now
ballooned to $90 on paper. Of course, we don?t know what will happen by Feb. 10, 2001. We don?t know
whether the liquidity will be a problem.

ZSUN has received the sure profit of $5,000,000 and probably 2.7 million restricted shares of AFSI. It ain?t
too bad.

Does this clever deal change the fundamentals of Asia4sale.com? Not at all, AFSI is still a money-losing
business. However, ZSUN may be able to brush away Asia4sale.com?s heavy losses out of its book, if the
percentage of ownership in AFSI is less than 20%. The reason is that the equity method of accounting will
not apply anymore. The EPS can be significantly dressed up. ZSUN may value the investment in AFSI as
either a trading or an available-for-sale security at a fair market price of $27 million.Their balance sheet
suddenly looks very nice.

We will all find out when ZSUN announces the 4th quarter of 1999 EPS and 1st quarter of 2000 EPS.
These people are really "smart."
