StealthIS vs. StealThis
Please Note:
The Interactivist Network has not been active for some time.A few of our projects have fallen off the internet. Some have lived on, or been reborn. Some of our work continues within other organizations. But we have not done work under the Interactivist banner in some time.
We are reviving this site to serve as a document of the work we did in the late 1990s through the late 2000s. (February 2021).
In September of 2004 we were sent a 30 page cease and desist letter from a Mr. Leo Stoler. Leo seems to think that he owns the word "Stealth" and that our use of "StealThisEmail" is somehow in violation of his property rights.
We think this is totally absurd.
To date, no further legal action has come of this issue.

- Our press release on this issue
- He Says He Owns the Word 'Stealth' (Actually, He Claims 'Chutzpah,' Too) New York Times article about Mr. Stoller, and his legal endeavors to remove the word "stealth" from all sites that he owns. (You will need to log in with your NYTimes account to read this)
