Yahoo is fighting a lawsuit by a man who said he paid $19.95 for an annual ad-free subscription but found ads in his inbox anyway. On Friday, Yahoo’s attorney Matthew S Kahn argued that the lead plaintiff Thomas Curtis “elected to renew his annual ad-free subscription multiple times, and in doing so he agreed to Yahoo's terms,” Dorothy Atkins reports in Law360. At Santa Clara Superior Court, Thomas Curtis claimed he did not know he would continue to see ads when he renewed the service. Yahoo argued Curtis agreed to its terms when he renewed his subscription. The case was dismissed on Tuesday, and now it will go back before Judge William Alsup of U.S. District Court in San Jose, California.
