CNET reports on a California suit against Disney, Warner Bros, and some other big pockets. The suit alleges that, on their behalf, Clearspring (famous as the creators of ShareThis) used Flash cookies to re-install deleted http cookies on user’s machines, contravening the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, California’s Computer Crime law, and that state’s Invasion of Privacy Act. The filers are seeking class action status.
