Business/Technology Editors

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 2001--Infotopia, Inc. (OTC:IFTP) ("Infotopia" or the "Company"), today announced that it filed the complaint in the Bristol County Superior Court, Taunton, Massachusetts against Raging Bull.com ("Raging Bull"), Lycos Terra Network, Inc. ("Lycos") and several individuals utilizing message boards for the purpose of posting various misleading and harmful information about Infotopia and its officers and directors. The Company claims in the filed complaint that information disseminated by several individuals through Raging Bull's message boards has damaged Infotopia's name and its stock value.

The Company has also filed motion for a preliminary injunction to compel the defendants, Lycos and Raging Bull to disclose the names and addresses of the several individuals posting on Raging Bull. As the part of the same motion the Company requested to compel the defendants to immediately remove untrue and defamatory messages from their websites, until the trial or further order from the Court. The Company has sought a restraining order against the named Lycos and Raging Bull preventing them from publishing any further messages written by various individuals named in the lawsuit, until resolution of the lawsuit. Strojny & Strojny of Taunton, Massachusetts, has filed the lawsuit on behalf of Infotopia and its CEO, Daniel Hoyng.

Clinton Smith, General Counsel and Director for Infotopia, Inc. stated, "The Company and Daniel Hoyng have been under attack for sometime, we have tried diligently not to pursue legal actions, but the blatant personal attacks, death threats and outright misinformation being posted over and over, must stop. We gave the "bashers" plenty of notice and hoped they would stop. The damage it has caused Infotopia and Mr. Hoyng is great. We intend to pursue this litigation vigorously; it is time Lycos takes responsibility for the removal of the out right lies and personal attacks, even failing to remove the "implied death and murder threats", that they allow to be posted each and everyday. The Company has notified on numerous occasions of the misinformation but Lycos has failed to take any action to stop."
