Blogger to be Sued for Defamation
« on: August 19, 2009, 09:02:05 PM »
Liskula Cohen is a Canadian-born model, best known for her appearances in fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Cleo. When she discovered that a blog called Skanks in NYC, hosted on Google’s Blogger, has been referring to her as “skank” and “old hag,” she decided to press Google to reveal the identity of the blogger through court, and the court has now decided in her favor.

One quote is enough to show the nature of the blog: “How old is this skank? 40 something? She’s a psychotic, lying, whoring, still going to clubs at her age, skank.” However, the blogger’s lawyer argued that these comments are his opinions and hyperbole – trash talk, if you will – but Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joan Madden decided that “the thrust of the blog is that [Cohen] is a sexually promiscuous woman,” and that Cohen is entitled to sue the blogger for defamation.

This also means that Google will have to reveal the identity of the blogger in question; an important move that will set a precedent for future cases such as this one. The blogger in question has, without a doubt, been very offensive towards Cohen, as can be seen in the above quote. However, as we all know, the internet is full of offensive comments and broad negative statements of all kinds. On the upside, this decision will make people think twice about posting offensive posts and comments about someone, as they’re no longer protected by a shroud of anonymity. On the other hand, it might trigger a flood of similar lawsuits, perhaps for trivial reasons, which can in turn have serious implications on everyone’s online privacy. - Mashable

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Web prowlers are taking advantage of the borderless and anonymous nature of the internet to commit acts that are otherwise illegal, such as defamation and libel.

Our antiquated laws have to be updated to the cyber-times. Kung naa man unta'y positibo nga kadangtan sa kaso ni Katrina batok Hayden, mao ang pagmugna ug balaod nga magbutang ug kinutoban sa paglapas sa panimuyo ug dignidad sa usa tawo.

Downright nasty ra bitaw jud ning ubang tawo nga wa nay konsensya modaot sa ubang isigkatawo.Kung si Father Corapi pa pasultion kining mga tawhana ilang konsensya gipangmurder na mao di na makafeel ug senses nga mobati pa sa ubang tawo.

Naa ko kaila creator sa website ni Manny Pacquiao naka higda na ug prisohan kadiyot related ani nga mga incidence.  As admin sa site, gi held liable sya sa mga "defamatory" posts sa mga members against a known sports media columnist in Manila.  Ang naka sakit kay gi serve ang warrant weekend so nakagawas sya sa prisohan sa Cebu pagka lunes na.  Wa magsilbi iya legal disclaimer sa iya website.

Naa pud ko kaila na butang sa alanganin related sa mag referencing/linking especially unauthorized posting of images into a website.  Busa importante gayud na e acknowledge asa gikan or kinsa ang author or asa gi host ang images.

Fore !

Raquel, that is so very true and sad at the same time. That there would be individuals like that who are so intent in seeing the hurt and demise of others. Its just best to ignore them and pray for them as that is the only thing we can do. The curse and plot against the good, instead of fighting them with defamation, let us bless them and remind them of God's message to those who are accusatory. As Justice and Revenge is His Right. Leave everything to God. His justice is swift and righteous as the flames he rained down on Sodom and Gamorra. It will catheterize and incinerate all that is wicked before Him. By His Will.

For all things come to pass, in GOD'S time.

Also, you're a fan of Fr. Corapi as well? lol!
I love to watch his shows in EWTN whenever he's on.
That or Mother Angelic re-runs. Love the messages they preach on.

Hey, God Bless!
All of Us.

yours in CHRIST,
Bran

lol! yes i loved Fr. Corapi's personal testimony on how he became a priest. How he was a self-made millionaire, and then how he lost everything, how he lived his life as a homeless vagabond for several years, until that calling hit him.

What's inspiring is how he used his skills as a business man, a people's person and utilizes that in his Priestly Ministry.

He's such a great priest, imho.

His voice thunders our attention, and at the same time, his ministerial examples and daily message is so great, inspiring and thought provoking.

He once said in a program, which i remember piercing my soul, "Christ CARRIED THE CROSS! For him? NO! He carried it for YOU. For ME, For all that would come to pass."

"You think your life is hard? CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! Even before you were born. So think again about giving up on life, we all have our own CROSSES to carry. We should walk with our crosses in the direction of CHRIST."

:)

Glad to know you also listen to Fr. Corapi. I do love to watch EWTN shows and specials from time to time. Specially their Study of the BLESSED WORD.

Cheers,

I used to listen to Father Corapi everyday in Catholic Radio program medyo nabusy ko lately wala na ka listen pero sometimes ug naa siya sa EWTN ako ug akong bana ganahan motan aw ug molisten sa iyang program. Very interesting kaayo iyang life. His mother is his great example. Remember his mom told him if he can't pray the rosary say at least one hail Mary a day.
He has unique voice ganahan ko maminaw. I hope I will meet him someday. You know I meet Father Mitch Pacwa two years ago.We even have picture together hehehhe. I meet Mary Noonan also.

Sorry folks na O.T na mi dah.Pasensya na.

The most inspiring man that I met in my life was Father Mark Hoffman.
My Catholic College Chaplain.
He was the one that responsible for EVANGELIZING me :)
He introduced me to Catholic Retreats, religious retreats for men of faith.
I even attended a collegiate conference for men interested in priesthood. :)

Through him, by the Grace of the HOLY SPIRIT who works through Fr. Hoffman, I was instilled and inspired in the Spirit to finish my Catholic Confirmation.

And through him, I met and was introduced to Bishop Donald Trautman, the Bishop of the Diocese of Erie County, Pennsylvania.

It was an powerful experience. To meet and talk to my Bishop. And most of all, was when he prayed for me, blessing me as I make direction in my life. To enter medicine.

Bishop Trautman once told me, "You know, Albrando, two men in life stand out. A priest and a doctor. One doctors the mind soul, to the blessings and promises of Christ. The other doctors the body and heals it. I pray you make the right decision in your life, my son, what ever it is, always ask blessings and providential guidance from Christ Jesus."

His message to me has stuck to me.

Meeting him, I was re-awakened into the Church.

And the HOLY SPIRIT has been a significant and powerful factor in my life. :)
