So if, for example, i was in a forum and my tv was absolutely terrible and i told everyone reasons why not to get it, it means the tv company can sue the forum? Does anyone else know how stupid that sounds?

2clix are being sued by someone else, so this seems like a desperate act to try and find a way to pay for court costs.

Besides, what was written in that thread about 2clix is 100% right.

Wow… I bet bloggers and online communities everywhere are watching this one. If you’ve ever criticised a company or a company’s product online, you, your organisation, or your service provider could be liable if this case succeeds…

Per para.14c of the Statement of Claim:

2Clix claim to have lost $150k AUD per month revenue, when they've never achieved $150k revenue in their entire company history.

Crap software with dishonest sales people and incompetent support staff: 2Clix is simply reaping what they've sown. When real experiences are verified, this case will be thrown out.

Another greedy lawyer milking a moron company, yet running the risk of setting a dangerous precedent if the judge ends up being as IT-challenged as most members of the judicial system.

What the hell man? Can you imagine if Microsoft or Telstra took this stance? Entire economies would crumble! Spacetime would fold in on itself, etc etc.
It would be pretty sucky, is what I'm trying to say.

I hope 2Clix get all the negative publicity due to them.

Was only a matter of time, I’m suprised it didn’t happen sooner
