Fla. Woman to Pay $11.3 Million for Online Forum Defamation

WESTON, Fla. ? A woman who posted defamatory statements on an online bulletin board has been dealt an $11.3 million blow by a Broward County jury, leading adult entertainment lawyer J.D. Obenberger to say that website operators and Internet users need a wake-up call when it comes to the things they post on industry boards such as GoFuckYourself, hahahahahahahahahaha and others.
Susan Scheff and her company, Parents Universal Resource Experts, won the verdict against Carey Bock, who called the plaintiff and her company ?crooks,? ?con artists? and ?frauds.?

The verdict included $5 million in punitive damages.

Scheff filed the suit in December 2003, alleging that Bock posted defamatory statements about her on an Internet bulletin board viewed by parents of troubled teens, according to court pleadings.

interesting

Quote:
Obenberger could only speculate as to why the bulletin board had dropped out as a defendant, but said that liability for bulletin boards typically applies if the site edits content. Sites that don’t edit content, he explained, function more like Internet service providers in the eyes of the law.

and more

Quote:
“Some court have said sites can remove copyrighted material and child porn without fear of incurring liability akin to that of a media source — that’s an area of the law that is changing,” Obenberger said. “But the minute a site like GFY starts editing out postings for defamation, it opens itself up to liability if it misses a defamatory post.”

well, since I am not the one collecting, I think the importance of the judgement is what we need to pay attention to here

I have to agree with Jace, we all need to pay more attention to what we say.

I know of another defamation lawsuit that will be coming out very soon because of what was posted on a message board and in an email.

People have been very sloppy about what they say online.

This judgment sends a loud message: be careful.

my opinion is that Adult.com should be suing J.D. Obenberger for making public comments that may decrese the value of their internet property gofuckyourself.com cause if no one is making stupid comments on GFY less people may come here thus hurting their business..

:2 cents:

Spunky 10-11-2006 07:54 PM
Those terms are thrown around quite often on here..maybe people will actually think twice
