From my understanding of results of a recent IT type Aust court case where a site provider facilitated the downloading of Music? /movies?....the site provider was NOT found liable for what individual USERS had done on their site....
Sorry I cant be more spacific re cos and the actual findings but ...thats how I remember the info.... Does anyone remember this case reported in the news recently?
So....HC might fall into a similar catagory of not being liable for what usuers/posters do or write???
Posters could be on their own.
These IT type cases must be deciding new laws for new cyber territories. How do everyday people maintain their place/voice in these cyber territories if they are intimidated by others who can afford to prosecute? If all info had to be 100% correct ...could it become a money game, sueing <100% users...intimidating to the point that only the rich had confidence to spread their views and ultimately gaining control of the net....control of the masses knowledge,etc..
