I don't have every detail. But I do know and have said all along that these complaints against WWASP and many other similar programs started long before Sue ever sent her daughter to CSA.
That the class action is is all about PURE is pure fantasy that WWASP would like parents to believe. But even a quick and dirty glance around the net and mainstream news sources and/or past court cases will show that WWASP has created a huge pool of potential plaintiffs. PURE doesn't even do as good a job of describing the abuse because they actually support and promote some of the same abusive practices.
So, from WWASP's point of view, they're a tempting straw man. They can tell the judge and jury that PURE made up all these "lies" just to steal business from them, out-lawyer them so they can't prove the truth and tell their followers "See, it was all just a pack of lies".
But that won't solve the problem of all these kids, now college age and older, who are finding all these discussions in public forums that are springing up all over the wilds of Cyberia in response to the NYT and London Guardian coverage.
That's why I think that, in the end, the whole industry is going to lose out in this arena. The net responds to censorship like damage and routes around it. The Program absolutely depends on a high degree of information control. It just can't compete in a free market of ideas.
Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its
best state is but a necessary evil ---in its worst state an
intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same
miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without
government, our calamities is heightened by reflecting that we
furnish the means by which we suffer!
