Default A warning for all bloggers and forum owners

Forum owners should take note of the following Will the Whirlpool case wash? | APC Magazine and Image and Data Manager. Even when there is no case to answer, these things can be *extremely* expensive to fight. I suspect it is only a matter of time before somebody goes for something big.

Perhaps that's one of the reasons why Darren wants members to donate money?

???? I don't follow. Why would JC be sued over this thread? I am more referring to people complaining that they have been ripped off or otherwise hard done by (insert name here).

Defamation Laws only go so far.

For instance, I'll tell my story. I was ripped off by Profix (Pooraka for those playing at home). I took them to court, i won, and i can now inform other people not to take their business there. (Check the laws, i already did with a lawyer who frequents forums)

Obviously the threads would have been deleted by whirlpool, but is it just a case of the company are dodgy and got found out, or someone is out to get them. I would bet Darrens left testicle on it that they were found to be dodgy, and want to continue.

I have been watching that post with a great deal of interest for obvious reasons.

Perhaps I'm a little different, we've had 2 requests previously to remove content from the site which I did without question, I am not out in the land of living to make enemies nor do I wish to stir up trouble along the way.

What a bloody joke. Why arent these companies suing reviewers in magazines etc? Same thing. People are just out to try and make a quick buck from other people these days. ****ing pathetic.

Because magazines have the money to fight back. Justice is only for the rich.

will be very difficult for 2clix to win that. For defamation they need to prove that the comments made by the members were completely untrue (a bit hard when they talk from personal experience), and that the owner of a forum is responsible for a 3rd party's opinions...

edit: hah! should have read the whole article
