Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million
An anonymous reader writes "A Canadian stay-at-home mom of 3 recently created a website to report on environmental problems around her neighborhood. The general public and governmental workers lauded her for her efforts. The environmental Ministry spokesman was even quoted as saying 'Obviously we can't have staff everywhere all the time, so we depend on the public out there as surrogate eyes and ears for the ministry'. However, not everyone was quite as happy, as she soon found out, when one company decided to sue her for libel to the tune of $2 million."
In the U.S. we expect that people will say anything on their minds and as long as nobody can prove that you are lying
Well, that explains the start of the Iraq war then. I was wondering how anyone could buy the "prove you DON'T have something" line of reasoning.
You can't take the sky from me...
