Just posted an article about whether the owners of chatrooms and message boards can get sued if someone elses posts slanderous statements on your board. Recent case in California talks about it. Read it at AdultBizLaw.com Thanks Michael

Nice post boss. Thanks for sharin'.
So if I say "Gen, Gia, Mia, Ava, and Gonzogirl all wanna have my baby," I can't be sued right?
You can. The board owner can't.
Phew, good thing it's all true then!

Thats true. Individual poster can be sued but the actual owner of the Board cannot. However, if you are a Board owner you will be involved in the discovery process since you know who the poster is and have their IP address. So you will still be involved you just wont have to pay damages.

just curious mr. fattorosi, what are the chances a court would really give money to a known madame like pam peaks because some anonymous fuck on the internet was mean to her?
if you're just lobbing up libel, 90% of the targets have more to worry about legally than you do should you be a hardworking and upstanding citizen

Even people with questionable pasts get to win in Court -- thats the whole justice is blind notion. I've had judges tell me that even felons tell the truth once in a while.

i would love to see you try to get some of the people in our business into a courtroom for that kind of trial. your optimism is humorous to me in a way. i agree with jamesn. most performers (myself included) cant even get to a porn set on time and we are getting paid that day, try showing up for a trial or courtroom 45 minutes late. lol

If you're late for a porn shoot, you aren't possibly held in contempt of court and all the other shit that brings. Or maybe that's an excuse to get whores into the "Judge's chambers".

Why is it so difficult to show up on time or at least a few minutes early? I've always wanted to ask and receive a serious answer but never tried, so I'm gonna ask you.
Setting aside the whores (male and fem.) that have a drug habit... those who don't have one, whats the reason and excuse? Why is it difficult?

Is this applicable only in California, or other states as well? Quote:

:UNREQUESTED INPUT WARNING:
Like anyone who does anything without regard to the impact on others:
Lack of respect.
Or in my twisted version of Einstein's time/space:
These people live in non-Copernican universes [everything revolves around THEM], therefore their perception of Time is "warped" so that whenever they show up, its ON TIME!
Those are my assumptions as well but I like to hear a reasoning behind this behavior from those who do it.

That case really only applies to California but the federal law the decision was based upon would apply nationally. If the same situation arose in another state the attorney for the message board owner would cite the California case as being persuasive and on point.
