Blogger Subpoenaed For Comment On Blog
Jeremy Schoemaker, a popular Internet blogger and successful Internet entrepreneur, has been subpoenaed over a slander lawsuit where a third party individual left a comment on his blog. The results could have huge consequences for anyone that blogs depending on the judge’s decision.
Schoemaker has posted a copy of the subpoena on his blog. Although Schoemaker is being vague per the advice of his lawyer, it seems this revolves around a web design firm Schoemaker hired for a design project called Quick Connect and his unhappiness with their results. Schoemaker posted about it and some comments were made that Quick Connect considered “slanderous”.
This is very important case, as it will set the precedence on what is acceptable and unacceptable in terms of blog comments. It will also help identify what a blog owner is and is not responsible for in a similar situation on their own blog. If owners are responsible for the comments left on their blogs, we could see a huge transformation on what a blog actually is with much more screening of comments if not seeing them being removed altogether.
Anyone that has a blog should be closely watching the outcome of this law suit.
