Hi Yoda

I have a better idea for the use of the fighting fund. Lets stop the fight of corporate attacking its own share holders, to corporate fighting all share holders. Why do you think directors sue individuals only and not other corporations? The "inference" that a certain news paper has made about certain directors suing share holders is by far more libelous than what the share holder said. Yet no action is taken by the same against the news papers.

The problem starts with hot copper. As soon as a court order for the release of a poster's detail is made, you give out the information. What do you think a news paper reporter would do if faced with the problem? Prefer to go to jail.

So what I suggest is that Hot Copper refuse to give out the names of posters and fight the case in court.(And fight to have the case fought out side WA.) The fighting fund would then be used to pay HC legal fees. Directors would then be facing a double barrel. Firstly, they would have to "prove" their case as against applying to the court for a "simple court order" just to have the information, and secondly they would then have to start again against the individual.
And if it was played out smartly enough, the statute of limitations would apply by the time they got to the individuals. do this often enough and what do you think would be the result?

So if Hot Copper regards itself as a champion of free speech, let it take a stance for free speech.
