p2pnet.net being sued

[Malicious Intent]

http://www.p2pnet.net/story/8788

While I search for someone to act for me (ie, pro bono publico), I can say this: I'm being sued principally as a publisher, not for something I wrote.

This represents online freedom of speech in its purest sense and my natural inclination is to go into detail in public.

But this isn't about what's right or wrong. It's about the law, and that's a very different bag. Handsomely paid lawyer's pleading against handsomely paid lawyers to other handsomely paid lawyers. The defendants and/or plaintiffs are almost incidental.

And at this point, I'm getting nowhere with finding legal help here in Canada.

In the meanwhile, I'll be doing posts as and when I can, in between trying to find a way to deal with this, or have it dealt with, in a fair and reasonable way.

This is David and Goliath all over again and funnily enough, I just had a call from Patti Santangelo. We were comparing notes and the way it's going, I may soon have to try and start a defence fund for myself.

So if there are any rich people out there who'd be interested in giving me a hand .......

So he's been sued for something someone posted to his website.

Chilling. Especially if he has a forum and that's the source.

damn I hope canadian law protects him

I also think that he will find funding. The site is pretty popular. If he wins this then it will be a marvelous page in internet history
