Digglike owner sued? It's happening in France, for one link.
fuzz.fr — Imagine, Kevin Rose sued just because one of you submited the wrong link... It's happening in France to Eric Dupin, the owner of fuzz.fr. Olivier Martinez decided to take action against dozens of blogs relating his difficult sentimental life with Kylie Minogue. Eric has been condemned to pay 2500 euros. Just for one RSS link. Web 2.0 is dead.

- tehbored, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5You proclaim web2.0 to be dead for that?
- Lutremi, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2At least in France, assuming they'll use this as a precedent...
- soymalau, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Yeah. Now, in France, all the users-generated-content websites are responsible of the links or content provided by their users. Usually you can moderate the content after publishing, now our law can ask to the administrators a pre-publishing moderation, which is strictly unpossible and unrealistic as soon as your website is a bit popular.
- innerpenguin, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2I never heard of this Olivier Martinez until now. What a loser.

- Flashman, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5If Martinez is so worried about his privacy, perhaps he will stop using publicity as a means to sustain his career. Oh, wait, I suppose he thinks he can turn public attention on and off at his whim?
