Exclamation BBS and internet libel laws...

Someone's just been successfully traced and sued for libel, for what they posted on a BBS.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/s...444444,00.html

So for all of you that complain when a thread criticising a company is pulled, this might help explain why. (Though it doesn't say if the website itself was penalised.)
