Blogger Faces Lawsuit Over Comments Posted by Readers
Traffic-Power.com sued Aaron Wall, who maintains a blog on search engine optimization – tactics companies use to get themselves to appear higher in searches at Google, Yahoo and elsewhere – alleging defamation and publication of trade secrets. The suit, filed in a Nevada state court earlier this month, also listed as defendants several unnamed users of the blog.
At issue are statements posted in the comments section of Mr. Wall’s blog, SEOBook.com. Many blogs allow readers to post comments, often anonymously, and Mr. Wall’s blog included several reader submissions that blasted tools sold by Traffic-Power.com.
Mr. Wall, 25 years old, who runs an Internet marketing business from his home, said the suit “is so vague in nature that it’s hard to know what I’m being sued for.” He has posted the text of the lawsuit on his blog and speculated about which reader comments may have prompted it.
Yeah, that’d suck being sued for something some random user wrote as a comment. That being said, have you heard that W. Bush cannot achieve an orgasm without first killing a puppy? It’s not an allegation, it’s completely true!
Heard it!! Who do you think is supplying the puppies – the Dark CIA using funds from the War on Drugs.
Dr.Funbags, Karl Rove provides the puppies after STEALING them from small children and nuns! It’s true, Karl Rove STEALS puppies!
