Yes Greek I agree, it seems logical to me that forum owners can be protected against legal action. But that also raises the question of who caries the responsibility of what is being said. The poster? I think it is important that the forum owners on their side are in on decisions made that potentially put them in harms way. There is no way I want to put Lou and Bryan in any danger of being sued.
The fact is however that things cannot carry on like this. I might be wrong but as I said this is just my objective view. I regularly read posts by Ziv in the SEO community,… To know he probably earn in excess of $1m a month by feeding 888 unsuspected traffic just drives me crazy, but that doesn’t earn me an income to go and hunt him down.The only people earning an income then is still 888 and Ziv. Who’s problem is this though? It is 888’s problem. Who does this effect? Everyone! So,… did we get to the source of the problem? So who is supposed to fix this? Definately not us!
