Personally, I think there is a lot more to this story than what you get in the article. I'm waiting for more information, but here's what there is so far:


WESTON, Fla. — A woman who posted defamatory statements on an online bulletin board has been dealt an $11.3 million blow by a Broward County jury, leading adult entertainment lawyer J.D. Obenberger to say that website operators and Internet users need a wake-up call when it comes to the things they post on industry boards such as GoFuckYourself, JustBlowMe and others.
