Unfortunately, we are once again being sued. This time around; ZGeek is named in a defamation suit along with the co-defendant, Google. We are being sued for user comments on the site and Google is being sued for listing these in their search results.


This case is very important; if we are found liable, all webmasters in Australia will be liable for their user comments. Basically this is Australia's version of SOPA. If they win, no webmaster is going to allow free comments on Australian based sites as they could be sued.


I'm a busy little boy today, but anyone have any extra information, views or thoughts on this?

I can't seem to find an answer just "someone for reader based comments", googling gives you many hits for the old case :(

Haven't there been a whole bunch of these kinds of cases already?

The person suing us seems keen to go ahead, they have even planned to move interstate to sue me (now that's commitment!).

If it's backloads then they'll probably break and lose most of their gear moving their shit interstate.

I wish you could sue for incorrect semi-colon usage.
