I want to thank Eric Wu from Rentwiki for the comment below. The lawsuit was settled out of court. We actually have the update over at mbrewergoup.
This is one to follow my friends and with so many far reaching consequences, it should be interesting. I will do my best to post the progress of the mediation and any subsequent actions that come out of it.
Yelp user faces lawsuit over negative review
source: cnet news
Hi Mike,
Fortunately, the lawsuit was settled. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10139278-93.html
I definitely see both sides. As a business and property owner, I want my right protected against defamatory remarks. As a consumer, I want the freedom to read and express truthful, unreserved opinions. I would not want to be the FCC or whoever attempts to clearly define what constitutes an unlawful review.

Never a good idea to submit negative remarks on the internet especially in the corporate world. I totally agree with Eric regarding the defamatory remarks.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment.
What do you do up there in Vancouver? I lived in Seattle and frequented Victoria - love it there.
We moved our blog over to mbrewergroup.com - would love to have you over for further discussion.

I think that we should be able to post our opinions of the services that we use on the internet without fearing legal repercussions. So long as the reviews don't amount to slander, we have a right to produce (and read) them.

I love to see both the sides that is consumer and seller process side.I would not want to be the FCC or whoever attempts to clearly define what constitutes an unlawful review regarding the market. Progress never stops in this type of strategies.I don't know more about the shifting contain of this page to another remote site.

This is flat-out stupid. Yelp is simply a venue for exercising your 1st amendment rights. A negative review, unless it's slanderous, is constitutionally protected! What the heck?!
Posted by: Robert McMahon | June 02, 2010 at 01:27 PM
I cant even believe this story, it seems ridiculous. People should be aloud to make the comments, unless Yelp doesnt allow them.

It seems like another case of excessive lawsuits. http://www.selfstoragerooms.com/

When's it gonna end, now the SEC is getting involved with the web and privacy and tracking people online. There has to be a line drawn at some point. Yelp lets people do independent reviews, that's the whole purpose.

Online reputation management, often the best defense is a good offense. This is why BofA had to buy BrianMoynihanBlows.com, BrianMoynihanSucks.com, BrianTMoynihanBlows.com, BrianTMoynihanSucks.com and the.net and.org variations - AND the same types of domains for many of their top executives.
