Messageboard Liability

18

This story is amazingly good news for us, according to a recent court in CA, the contents of messageboards are considered opinion and not fact unless presented as such, and therefore the website owners and posters cant be held liable. Of course a lower court ruled the other way though so things are still a bit shaky. Luckily over all these years I've only gotten a couple letters from lawyers, both non-threatening. Thanks for the reminder Mark
