Icky, they can still sue you.

One piece of advice to all. Never use the word “Disclaimer” it is NON-EXISTENT and NOT HONORED.

The use of disclaimer started with fansites and illegal sharing of mp3s. The open-source community and gaming communities started to use the word. Soon, other newly born net companies started using that word too.

But even after 10 years of usage, the word “disclaimer” is still not being honored and is non-existent in any laws around the world.

Use another word, just not the word “disclaimer”. Even so, people with “money” can sue you if they want to, they have attorneys who will bend the law just to milk money from you.

Especially in the Philippines… it all comes down to your network and connections, that’s our society.

“They claim that these statements have affected their worldwide sales which is why they’re hunting down the ones who posted those messages.”

This is great idea, and they believed that this lawsuit might help boost their worldwide sales?? i won’t be surprise if one of this days this story would end up in my in-box or in another blog. What dumb excuse IMO!

Hmmmm…. just made a note to myself to always express an opinion whenever I post derogatory comments in blogs, then they can’t sue.

something like “I think that real estate company doesn’t really have a good product for them to run after bloggers to protect their business. I also think that they’re being stupid to have a business model that relies on running after these people (to protect their sales?). If I’m the owner of that business I’d fire the guy who came up with the idea and if I’m the stupid guy who came up with the idea, i’d relinquish day to day operations to someone competent!” He he he.

This is where a good AUP and disclaimer clause for comments for a blog or a regular website comes in
