Lawsuit over forum comments withdrawn Asher Moses September 19, 2007 - 11:30AM ... Ironically, the negative word of mouth and worldwide media coverage criticising 2Clix for trying to silence its critics seems to have damaged the firm's reputation far more than the forum threads that were the subject of the lawsuit. 2Clix sent a letter to Whirlpool last Thursday saying it had withdrawn all proceedings in the matter that was to have been heard in the Supreme Court of Queensland. In the letter, obtained by smh.com.au, 2Clix accused its competitors of criticising its software on the Whirlpool forums while pretending to be customers. It did not name those competitors. Sweeney confirmed the letter had been received by Whirlpool, but it was still trying to reach 2Clix's legal representatives for formal confirmation. "Our goal when this actioned [sic] commenced was to simply have our genuine clients identified so we could contact them to help them and have the competitors false comments removed," 2Clix's letter read. 2Clix said it sued Whirlpool as a last resort after Whirlpool for seven months refused to help 2Clix identify and remove false comments. "Our intent was neither to damage Whirlpool or its freedom of speech, only to help our genuine clients and stop our competitors making untrue accusations," it said. When the suit was filed, legal experts said 2Clix had little chance of winning because it would have to prove the forum statements were false, that they were made in malice, that 2Clix actually suffered damage in the form of monetary loss and, critically, that Wright had intended to cause 2Clix monetary loss by allowing the material to remain on the website. Amanda Stickley, a senior law lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology, said: "I don't think you could actually prove that for a web operator, that they personally intended the damage because of their malicious intention, especially when it's posted by a third party that they've got no relationship to." The original statement of claim filed by 2Clix referred to more than 30 comments by Whirlpool users, many strongly advising people to avoid the software at all costs and complaining that advertised features were not available in the product. http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/lawsuit-over-forum-comments-withdrawn/2007/09/19/1189881557140.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1 Re: Why name of builders was masked out? 13Sep 22, 2007 11:39 pm Does this mean a little more freedom of speech in here Mods???

I think it's quite crazy for a company to design/sell an account software which doesn't allow you to access old data if users didn't renew their license! No wonder it would ended in liquidation... http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,24056368-15317,00.html Re: Why name of builders was masked out? 15Jul 22, 2008 5:19 pm I think this proves the notion that we are actually allowed to state facts here....
