Media Organizations Join Forces to Fight Canadian Ruling

csaila writes "Some of the world's big media outlets (including CBC, CNN, Guardian, The Globe and Mail, The New York Times, Reuters, and -- as well as Amazon, AOL, Google and Yahoo) are appealing a Canadian court ruling threatening both free speech and the Net. The ruling stems from a former UN employee who successfully sued the Washington Post in Ontario for libel, arguing that because the Post's Web site carried the story. his reputation had been "damaged" in that province."

Re:Where is the original article?

Aww, how cute. You learned how to cut & paste. Maybe next you'll learn to actually go to www.washingtonpost.com & search their archives. You've yet to demonstrate an ability to read others complete posts much less reply to their responses of your comments. You've also failed to explain both why you posted the ruling and how having the original WP text would make it easier to know who to side with. If you've got an actual point to make other than lame attempt to start a flame war, please do so.
