Bloggers United – Please Donate To The Abe Olandres Legal Fund

Abe Olandres, previously the editor of the Blog Herald is fighting a ridiculous personal legal battle that not surprisingly is taxing his finances. If you can help Abe then please donate to the Legal Fund the Blog Herald have set up – I’ve just donated $100.

Details of Abe’s legal problems are below:

I run a fairly small start-up web hosting here in the Philippines. One of our former clients runs a forum that we used to host. Several members of that forum were throwing vindictives against a their former employer. That employer sent us a demand letter thru their law firm demanding that we terminate the site or be charged with libel as well. The client moved out from us the following day. However, the employer/complainant has now filed several libel law suits against us claiming that we are the owner of the domain and the operator of the site. The site is still up and running though hosted somewhere else, the domain was also transferred away from us. Still, the complainant is alleging we should have enforced some sort of regulations or control over the content when it was still with us.Apparently, all they wanted is money and this case is just of one of their many business gigs.
