Now if someone has resources and wants to make a point he could spend $50k on a lawyer to win a nominal jury award of $1 just for the sake of the principle... I actually know someone like that but he is not a subchatter :(Interesting though that insurance companies are now selling "bloggers policies". $1k per year buys you a million dollar liability policy if you slander or libel someone on the net |
