It's official: A defamation lawsuit has been filed in BC against Law Professor Micheal Geist by Wayne Crookes, the same person who is suing me. Geist is being sued for, among other things, having a named link to P2pnet, which has on it somewhere a page which has a named link to Open Politics, which has content on it somewhere which Crookes objects to.
Yes, you read that right.
Crookes claims that this makes Geist a republisher of libel!
Oh, by the way, in another area of the lawsuit, Crookes makes it clear that anyone who is part of Green Bloggers can be sued for a link which is in the aggregator's blogroll.
I'm too busy to say more right now... but I would hope that if this community truly values its existence, it would band together to do something about this.
