In 2000, VolleyHut was among several companies that protested strongly against Amazon.com's patent relating to affiliate programs. Company owner Charlie Jackson challenged Amazon.com, saying "I have a small e-commerce site, VolleyHut.com, that sells volleyball equipment. I have an affiliate relationship with Volleycentral.com. I will continue to maintain the affiliate program, despite your patent. The reason is that I know you will not try to actually stop me, because your patent will not hold up in court if I decide to fight it, which I would. So, now you have been notified that someone is violating your patent. What are you going to do about it?" [1] Amazon.com took no action against VolleyHut. Established in 1999, VolleyHut is based in Poway, California and owned by Charlie Jackson.[2] Jackson was an early Macintosh software publisher who founded Silicon Beach Software and co-founded FutureWave Software, which created the original version of what is now Adobe Flash. VolleyHut established the Beach Volleyball Junior Olympics as a stand-alone event, hosting it in 1999 in San Diego. Previously, the Beach Volleyball Junior Olympics had been held in conjunction with a pro beach volleyball event. From 2000 to 2007, VolleyHut has also assisted U.S. women players by sponsoring a team in the under-20 International Tournament held each year in Sibillini, Italy.
