An Aussie Forum being Sued (NOT US)
Thought you guys might like to have a look at this - its another forum I subscribe to.
Its a tech forum that cover everything from PCs' to Sat TV.
They lawyers threatening legal action could be in a bit of trouble as the forum has almost 22,000 members and they are talking about setting up a
"Fighting Fund"
The basic gist is that one of the Pay TV Providers is trying to get the details of one of the forum members who did something a bit silly they sent a
letter demanding that the account be immeadialty deleted - which admin did and then asked that he supply details of the person who set the account up
- which he couldn't do because it had been deleted. 
anyway its something for all ppl whoi use and run forums to be aware of.
