Software Company Sues Popular Australian Forum

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i'd-like-to-sue-a-bar-where-someone-was-mean-to-me dept.

Pugzly writes "In a recent announcement on the Whirlpool front page, it appears that accounting software maker 2clix is suing the founder of the forums as the founder "allowed statements 'relating to the Plaintiff and its software product that are both false and malicious' to be published on the Whirlpool forums."

    Congressional law doesn't apply in Australia. Or anywhere else apart from the USA. Just thought I'd remind you.

    I'm sure I won't be the only one, but on first read I thought the summary was about an appliance company.

    Took me a second to realize my mistake.

      I've heard the founder of 2clix can't orgasm unless he's strangling a puppy.

    They made a shitty program and tried to steal all my money. They are a very shady company and I wouldn't touch them with a 10' pole. Don't say you weren't warned if you do business with them and they rape your bank account or livestock.
