Libel suit against p2pnet
In a case filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia about a month ago, the chief executive of the company that owns Kazaa has sued Jon Newton of p2pnet for libel.
The Register's Ashlee Vance has a story about the lawsuit here, including a link to the underlying complaint. From the Register story, it looks as if what Newton did was quote from an AP story about the chief executive's actions. And then a couple of people commented anonymously.
Newton has put up a plea for legal help here.
Given that many American IP law professors are about to descend on Vancouver this week, there should be some way to get Newton's case additional attention in the North American press.
[This is not a set-up for a joke about the competency of law professors.]
