[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1086969, member: 17555"]Just a passing thought and curiousity.... I remember another site where you couldn't even post a certain TPG's name because that TPG has sued the site. It was a 3rd level tpg. Don't know the details, but I found it concerning that a company could sue any forum for the content posted by forum members... Anyway, any lawyers out there ? I'd like to understand my exposure should I voice any sharp opine relative to a tpg, or auction house, or even..... Doug (gasp) :devil: Given: it's the rotten ol' USA legal system, and anyone can sue anyone for any reason. Q. - What is the practical exposure of both this site and it's members should some post an opinion regarding another entity and that entity decide to take legal action.... assuming no propriatery info was exposed,, would they have a leg to stand on in court ? Q. - Assuming no, could the person or site being sued sue that entity for any damaged or legal fees ? My guess is yes and yes, per the Given,,, but just curious if we had a local legal expert in the group that could expand. Also, does anyone remember that tpg vs. coin forum noise around 5 years ago... I think it was ACG that sued someone or a site.... I'd be interested in knowing what prompted the action,,,, if we are even allowed to discuss it here.. it was absolute taboo on the other site.... lol.[/QUOTE]
