COUPLE SUES OVER INTERNET GLITCH AT KANSAS FARMHOUSE

POTWIN — A couple who rented a Kansas farmhouse is suing a company over an internet glitch that brought them numerous legal problems .

The glitch put the coordinates for the center of the U . S . in the front yard of James and Theresa Arnold near Potwin . The farmhouse became the default location for any website owner that didn ’ t have a specific IP address .

The Arnolds allege in a lawsuit filed Monday that glitch meant more than 600 million IP addresses became associated with the farmhouse . That led to them being accused over the years of internet-based crimes such as computer fraud and tax fraud , as well as making pornographic films .

The Wichita Eagle reports the couple is suing MaxMind , which they say is responsible .
