BastardFactory.com Fails to Censor TBM
Posted on Tuesday, 15th December 2009 by reckless bastard
Poor BastardFactory.com - completely and utterly destroyed when the TRUTH was written about the site, its Admin reverted to the ultimate butthurt technique: netcopping. BF Admin contacted our host, complaining that the TRUTH that was written about his site was libelous and (of course) threatened to sue. Well I guess his Internet Wannabe Law Degree didn’t include a lesson on the Communications Decency Act or the legal concept of defamation - fortunately my actual, real life law degree did.
First, the CDA (as written about extensively in a prior article on TBM) generally absolves the “provider of an internet service” from liability for content posted by a “subscriber.” Basically, no host would ever have anything to fear from a lawsuit claiming defamation regarding something its customer posted to its server. Second, TRUTH is a complete defense to any claims of defamation and we have given Mr. BF ample opportunity to come on the site to set the record straight if he had any problems with our investigative journalism (which he of course declined). Lastly, even in cases of actual defamation, one must prove damages as an essential element of such a claim and since BF’s reputation is already worthless, it’s impossible to damage further. Of course, the most humorous part of this entire tale is that it was Mr. BF who initiated a “war” with TBM first - we had never heard of him or his site until he ventured over here and spammed our board.
Feel free to scroll down to read the articles that caused Mr. BF so much consternation to begin with.
Note: Mr. BF might be surprised if he attempts the same underhanded technique to censor our site as our current host is owned by DigitalGangster.com, another site he attempted to bully into submission after spamming. Also, our offer to BastardFactory.com and its Admin to tell his side of the story still stands. Stop being a coward who attempts to remove content from other sites and just tell us your side of it.
