TAC, I'm well aware of Pretenda's defamation suit, as I was one of the commenters listed. The problem with Roca is that they're going after something much worse than porn - sure porn causes people to pay up, but it's also why nobody takes this shit seriously.
I REALLY hope the judge upholds PissedConsumer.com's first amendment rights; this case is an obvious violation of them. People writing negative reviews about something is not defamatory in the slightest.
Wow, legacy journalism has been really bad lately. The New York Times using "he said, she said"; no fact-checking on the whole guy invented e-mail thing...
