Thursday, 8th of April, 2010, the Superior Court of Ontario held an appeal hearing of the ‘Richard Warman vs. Connie Fournier, Mark Fournier and John Does’, often also referred to as the ‘Richard Warman vs. Free Dominion’ case and the ‘Richard Warman vs. internet privacy’ case.
But, let me start at the beginning. Let me stress that I have absolutely no legal training, so these are my personal observations and should in no way be considered to be anything other than those of a regular person trying to make sense of this case and its implications on our daily lives.
First, the facts:
- The lawsuit Richard Warman filed is here.
- The statement of defense is here.
- The case was heard on the 22nd of January, 2009, with the Hounourable Mr. Justice J. Kershman presiding.
- The ruling in the case is here.
The case was appealed. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic requested and were granted intervenor status.
So much for the ‘dry facts’!

What precisely do you consider is the most effective blog software to make use of for someone that has a rather limited experience of technologies?
Xanthippa says:
I must admit that I am not well aware of the differences between the different blog options out there.
The first place I tried was WordPress.com – and I never left!
It was easy and intuitive to get set up and going – without any previous experience in online publishing. So, I cannot but recommend it – it is the one I tried and it worked for me.
That is not to say that others – like Blogspot – are harder or more difficult to set up and get going. I simply do not know, as I liked the first place I tried!
