It’s not about posting stuff that’s already public, it’s posting stuff that the owner does not want people to know. Simply having it on the public domain is quite obviously not the owner’s intentions, but of course Phil ignored it anyway.

That post was not a review. It was revenge. A review is: “This cake tastes bad”. “This cake is made of hairballs” is not a review.

Oprah’s legal nightmare ends

A judge has finally ended the last remnants of legal action by Texan farmers angry about Oprah Winfrey’s comments on BSE.

The legal action was taken under the US state’s “veggie libel” law and accused Winfrey of damaging sales by saying American cattle could have BSE and vowing never to eat another burger.

The last legal action to be dismissed by US Judge Mary Robinson threw out “all claims and causes of action asserted or that could have been asserted”.

It was taken by a group of farmers after an earlier legal action went to trial and Winfrey won.

The first legal action in 1996 caused Winfrey to move her talk show to Amarillo in Texas for several episodes during the trial.
Now, was it justified for the farmers to get angry at Oprah?

Lief902, don't worry. I'm just talking about intense stuff. If Wal-Mart makes a bad move when making a product, they'll do a lot to make sure the general public doesn't find out before they fix the problem. HAHAHAHAHAHA what, Rusky? Lief902, don’t worry.
