Lawsuit waiting to happen

Posted on December 11, 2002 @ 13:42 in General

In Wired and even in my dead tree based morning newspaper:

In a landmark case, Australia's highest court on Tuesday gave a businessman the right to sue for defamation in Australia over an article published in the United States and posted on the Internet.

That could have some interesting/chilling consequences and repercussions. It's pretty amazing that the Australian judges would allow the case to happen in the first place.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
