Damn. Well I can't trust Australia to have done anything right anyways considering the default. He still gets an appeal, right? It'd probably look bad to some degree, "Well you didn't respond to the initial case but now that we defaulted you suddenly care." is my reasoning. Even if it's not gonna go anywhere it'd show that you shouldn't take this shit lying down even if your initial gambit was it'd be thrown out. I sure hope whatever's getting cooked up by Null per the Rubicon thread is good. If it's even 30% of my wildest dreams that's fine by me.Nope. One of the very first internet defamation cases here established that if something can be read online here it is deemed to have been published here. The case was Gutnick. The defendant was Dow Jones who tried to argue that the US was the appropriate jurisdiction because it's where they are located and where their servers were located. The High Court found their arguments less than compelling.
My personal dream (again here's that lack of lawfare knowledge coming in) is that through the machinations of filing a civil suit of tortious interference the discovery blows the DDoSing shit wide open and Donger was indeed paying for or at least directing people to commit serious crimes on his behalf because of the mean birdfruit site, leading to the feds going to town. It wouldn't make me like the feds at all and it's doubtful they'd do it but a Sneed can feed.
