Would they really though? Did they actually contribute to the defamation? (Adding new content) Or just referred to defamation claims made by others? If it's the latter, I would figure not much would be done against them, if any. It probably wouldn't be worth it to pursue settlement from these guys.

It's mentioned as one of the sites where one of the defendants posted the slander. CP isn't mentioned as a defendant. IMO, 6 minutes from posting to deletion is pretty darn diligent for a website.

Just because it has been said before doesn't make it right for someone to repeat it on a public forum.

Whether it was said before makes no difference.

More like talking to a lawyer to see what's going to happen to them next.

I had no idea about this particular rumor. If anything, Burke should now sue himself for defamation.

Not that this has anything to do with the thread, but the guys in Boston used to ogle Hazel Mae when she was on NESN. The Red Sox usenet group was mostly about how hot she was.

It does make a difference. With the internet, anyone can create a blog and write whatever they want. If some less than brilliant person were to stumble upon this blog and take it for fact and then proceed to post it on a forum, who would you blame?

This is pretty funny. Anyone "involved" should link to this, and move on with their day.

Good for Burkie, I could see how these sort of rumors could cause irreparable harm to one's family. Just think what sort of crap his family probably went through based off false rumors. No offense to anyone who was named in this suit in particular, but it's about time people are taken to task for spewing crap on the internet. This way people might think twice about spreading rumors and accusations like these next time around.
