Patf Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The title of an article in the Sunday Times Doors section. Reports a case where a blogger is sued for libel and has to pay substantial damages. So, for example, if someone on this forum made a libellous statement and the offended person sues, Forum Admin. could reveal the poster's email address rather than the forum being sued." No sane internet service provider will go to court to protect the identity of a.......... subscriber who is too frightened to show his face." So you can't hide behind a pseudonym and say what you like. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcazar Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Sounds good to meMy "psedonym" came about because I was VERY new to computers when I started this and a couple of other BBS's, and when it asked for a username, I naively thought that's exactly what it wanted........like the old CB "handle"Alcazar, (aka Jeff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
