Ooohh... the dirt I could spread!

From Wired News on June 30th,
Bloggers Gain Libel Protection....  

"The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last Tuesday that Web loggers, website operators and e-mail list editors can't be held responsible for libel for information they republish, extending crucial First Amendment protections to do-it-yourself online publishers."


Since I'm not selling anything, I guess it's fair for me to spread rumors!  Oh, the things I could make u...  TELL you about
Joe!

Other than this, I just have nothing worthwhile to blog about...  Work is busy, I'm being lazy at home, next week I play a single dad while my wife goes to a quilting event, blah, blah, blah...


Though I do wonder...  one of the referrers on my list today was the
Popdex site.  I would REALLY like to know how I made it there!

Gravatar Image1 - If that's the way you feel, then I guess we REALLY shouldn't do the variant spelling of "R&D" as "R'n'D"!

Gravatar Image2 - Yeah, says you!

Gravatar Image3 - He's right, Tom. Rogaine ain't cheap at all. And what's with this Rob & Duplicate nonsense? I've done a good job of doubling myself since high school, there sure doesn't need to be any more of me around.

Gravatar Image4 - Yo there Duffbert,
I have contacted my attorneys as a precautionary measure. They suggest that you take note of the exact words of the ruling, specifically: ...can't be held responsible for libel for information they republish... (emphasis added - jrl)

Even though most of what you and I have done is simply R&D (Rob & Duplicate), any fabrications referencing me or other parties ancillary to my existence would be, by definition, original publishing, and would therefore, heretofore, fourscore, end evermore constitute libel, and would undoubtedly result in a summary judgment against you, leading to a forfeiture of your assets, and awarding me simple deed to your home and land, and title to your PT Cruiser (which was actually my evil goal all along).

From what I've heard, Rogaine ain't cheap, so I've got to finance it somehow if I'm to avoid cashing in the retirement savings for hats and sunscreen. Expect the summons any day. Sorry pal.


Gravatar Image5 - I got a referrer from Popdex too the other day. No idea why. Can't seem to find my site on theirs, so I am not sure how someone got to me from there.

I would be curious if anyone knows anything about them as well.
