Lawsuits
In March 2009, MagicJack took legal action for defamation against Boing Boing over its assessment of MagicJack's terms of service, which included assertions that the MagicJack End User License Agreement (EULA) allows the company to "snoop" on users by analyzing their calls for the purpose of targeting advertising and that the EULA requires users to waive the right to sue in court. MagicJack's suit was determined to be a strategic lawsuit against public participation and dismissed. MagicJack was also ordered to pay Boing Boing's legal expenses of $50,000 US.
On September 21 2012, magicJack Vocaltec Ltd was sued by NetTALK for damages in excess of $200,000,000 for patent infringement with the magicJack Plus device. magicJack sued netTalk in April of 2012 for patent infringement. That case continues.
