Internet Lawsuit - Blogging the enemy |
A lawsuit has been filed against one of Australia's largest online forums, where some messages posted were allegedly critical of products and services of a software company. |
The company claimed that the comments had caused "a severe downturn in monthly sales" of approximately $150,000 per month. |
The lawsuit, for the commonlaw tort of 'injurious falsehood", could have far-reaching implications for both firms and operators of internet forums and discussion sites. |
