According to a whois the site is run by the owner of this site: http://www.paybuyer.com/

PayBuyer appears to be an ad network. In other words, the guy could care less about Android and is just mad that AdSense/AdWords dominates.

It's funny that supporters of RIM have taken it seriously without doing 30 seconds of research.

Also, it says that directly on the site itself.

But you have to admit, playing 'geek-detective' is more fun, right? I mean, who believes the stuff in an "About" page when you can run a whois and get the _Truth_ ^_^

Whoops. Just zoomed right past the site's About. Not sure how anyone can take this thing as more than a publicity stunt.

They don't claim it's anything more. From their website:

""" 1. "Isn't this just a gimmick to promote a startup?" Yes, of course, FightAndroid.org is intended to help a startup (Paybuyer) – a startup that will indeed damage Google's AdWords and Android if it succeeds. To see why, view this PowerPoint presentation given to RIM executives in late March. """

I've had dealings with paybuyer and Mike Rosides. I will never have anything to do with them ever again. Just the thought of it makes my skin crawl.
