Lawyers being what they are, it was just a matter of time before something like this grew legs somewhere. [Not that lawyers have legs…]
The problem is that it simply becomes a freedom of speech issue.
Finally, this seems to be getting a groundswell of support. High profile places like Bloodhound and Wanna Network’s real estate networking site have even picked it up. Bloodhoundblog has even set up a legal defense fund for Vlad Zablotskyy.
If you are unfamiliar witht he case finding a lot of the ‘smoking gun’ material will be tough as much of it has been censored and removed by legal bullying.
Here are a few ways to get a drift of what is going on:
- Chilling Effect: How A Behemoth Company Can Silence A Blogger – Vlad’s own posting on the topic
- ePerks Pulls The Trigger: I am being Sued. – No longer a threat, Summons copy in this blog
- You CAN get sued for blogging – Wanna Networks input
- Don’t Hang Vlad out to dry – Bloohoundblog’s steppin up – If you scroll to the bottom of the Bloodhound page, you will see even more links for the back story.
If you value your ability to blog without having to look over your shoulder, contribute! Just $1 [more if you can.] But a buck… if it just gets you to do SOMETHING!
Rick Grant, a Member on Wanna Network, had this to say, “if you want to protect yourself you’ll go buy a copy of The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual.”
If you want a direct link to donate, here it is, but I would recommend reading some of the content here first.
