Dr
Laurence Godfrey
,
Physicist
, recently hit the
headline
s when he sued
Demon Internet
after they refused to remove two
defamatory
items from a
newsgroup
. Dr. Godfrey had asked several other
ISP
s to remove the
posting
s but only
Demon Internet
refused.
Demon Internet
settled out of court (interestingly, it decided on this course of action after it had been taken over by
Thus
). This 'Landmark Internet libel case settlement' sets a disturbing precedent for other
British
ISP
s and for
free speech
in general. Demon agreed to pay damages and legal costs totalling nearly four-hundred-thousand dollars.
