In addition, some courts have ruled that posting on the internet by individuals is not publishing.


Thats what I said too, in an earlier post... that was mentioned at a party I attended recently. This guy also said that a lot of internet cases are going straight up to the supreme court (here in Ca) because the medium is so new.. and therefore there are a ton of lawsuits because the lawyers want notoriety. If JLA sued me, over something I said on SI... would it be Ca, NH or Seattle do you know?

My only opinion is that if you threaten someone with a lawsuit you should follow through, or else stop the threats... its just a promise like any promise.

BTW one guy wants me to sue e-trade for that identity situation I'm having... do you think its worth it? I must say I'm pretty peeved about it, but I avoid lawsuits just as a matter of course.
