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.
