Happy Lawsuit Thursday!

[Andi]

I think it is nice how stupid people who have access to the internet tend to bring solidarity to our forum.

We all stand behind our Great and Beloved Leader Dave Ni Sen! *pounds fist on chest and salutes*

 

[Dave]

That's Nishsen, to you!

Yo. Lawyer type people. Question for you. Don't all Mikey's threats mean dick since Dave doesn't live in Australia? I mean seriously, this sounds like the damn Simpson's episode from which I derived the greatest internet handle ever: CHAZWOZEL!

I am not a lawyer, but you don't have to live somewhere (or even have been there) for their courts to have jurisdiction over you. For example, Marc Emery is rotting in an American jail for a crime he committed while in Canada.

I'm not sure what level of contact is needed to establish jurisdiction over someone, and it probably varies from place to place.

The first thing he did wrong was to sue about an opinion on the internet. The second thing he did wrong was to sue a web forum full of intelligent people who can see through his charade so easily that it's borderline comical. If this case did in fact hold some merit and was ruled in the favor of the plaintiff, it would be setting a disturbing precedent that would eliminate half of the web's content. All that would be left is porn.

If there were any grounds to, I say counter-sue his ass back to the time where he didn't think he could get away with these types of frivolous actions.

1: it sounds like a frivolous lawsuit, for which you can countersue
2: it seems to me that it's harassment of a sort..

 

[ElJuski]
