Blogger Wins SLAPP Suit
A number of blogs have been following the case of third party eBay drop-off company, BidZirk, suing blogger Philip Smith for saying critical things about it and its president, Daniel Schmidt. Apparently, Smith ran a four-part article on his blog about eBay drop-off services in general and BidZirk in particular. The company sued, and apparently it and its lawyer went so far over the top - including putting a lien on the blogger's condo without having any basis to claim a right to the property - that a judge granted Smith summary judgment ... a year and a half after the suit was first filed. You can read about this at the Citizen Media Law Project, the Technology & Marketing Law Blog by Eric Goldman, and Smith's own blog.Labels: blog, blogger, lawsuit, SLAPP
