New newspaper in Back Bay, South End looks a lot like the old one

Back Bay and South End residents woke up to a new weekly newspaper today, as Mr. Goodmorning shows us. If it reminds you of the old Boston Courant, that's because the owners, named only as "area residents" in an intro note, have hired David Jacobs and Gen Tracy to run it. The couple, of course, shut their paper in February after losing a wrongful-termination lawsuit by an ad manager who couldn't meet his quotas after the Courant shelved the Web site he had been hired to sell ads for.

yep
A little too much sans serif for me.
Wonder if they chose the name randomly, or because there was previously a Boston Guardian...
Is this just a sleazy attempt to avoid paying a legal judgment?
That would be pretty slimy. And I have seen more professional-looking papers published in high schools.
