    I'm sad to admit I know this, but the True Jackson line kind of makes sense. It's a TV show about a teenage girl who gets hired as a VP of a fashion company which makes pretty inoffensively non-descript high fashion. Greg Proopst plays her boss and my step-sister watches it religiously.

    so since it benefits the international federation of human rights, does this mean i can justify spending $305.40 on that (quite amazing) Hermes scarf?

    @cantankasaurus rex: Somehow I don’t think that would be a winning argument in a court case if I became bankrupt as a result of buying said scarf.

    Perez Hilton regularly calls women skanks and hos without any legal repercussions, and yet this woman goes to court to try to uncover the anonymous blogger who did exactly the same thing - and now she is free to sue the anon blogger for defamation? Is there something I'm missing?

    @heykoukla: I think the sole purpose of the blog that she was suing about was to defame her. Perez goes after lots of women (and men). I think this blog was just about the model in question.

    @EkaterinaBallerina: OK. Then I'm just gonna have to hold out hope that Perez was the anonymous blogger.

    On the other hand, if everyone who's ever been "defamed" on the internet takes their case to court, there's going to be a bit of a clog.

    I dont understand why people were so critical of Cohen's lawsuit. She wasn't suing web commentators or a general celebrity blogger, she was suing someone who made a site specifically to insult, criticize and harass her. It consisted of no news, just photos of her with vicious insults.

    It's not like suing some guy for catcalling you, it's like suing some guy who was stalking and threatening you for several months.

    @Katxyz: Well, I didn't say a blogger was stalking or threatening her. I drew a comparison to show a degree of a damage, hence the "its not like X, it's like Y." Reading comprehension, please.

    So, what now, I can sue all the people who called me a bitch/skank/etc. on the internet. Come on. Grow some thicker skin. People will call you names/talk about you in front of your face and behind your back. It's what people do. Most of us have done it.

    @Evie Havok: So, if there was an entire blog dedicated to shadowing your movements and calling you a fucking slut/whore/cunt, and it was the first thing that came up when someone (family, future lovers, future employers) googled your name, you'd be ok with that?

    @Evie Havok: "Most of us have done it" is probably the worst justification I have ever heard. Really, so that makes it okay?

    "Get thicker skin" doesn't really work when people are barraging you with insults on a regular basis.

    I once had to get a judge to order an ISP to reveal who had sent anonymous hate filled material to my then company. Unfortunately, even with the order, we were only able to trace them to an internet café. Although we had our suspicions who had sent them, there was not enough evidence to sue them but the e-mails did stop.

    Good for Ms Cohen! People on the internet are fucking awful and it's about time someone got the upper hand.
