Hi all,

Well, some of you may have heard of Whirlpool.net.au. Basically, its a website for people (mostly aussies) to talk about everything IT. Whether it be internet services, techy gadgets, etc..

Well, the owner of the site is being sued. Why? Some members of his forums have had bad experiences with a certain piece of software.. so that company is suing him for the threads/posts.

Its being spread around the internet now.. people are just laughing their heads off. This company wants $150,000 for the two threads in question.

If you want the full story.. and to see how many members are donating to the legal costs to fight this absolute crap..
