I really can't think of anything to say. The stupidity of some people/corporations seems to be only outweighed by their endless greed. First, suing over old, old comments. Seems kinda stupid. Second, suing the blog owner for... What exactly? The comments weren't made by him. So they're suing him for owning a website where people can... Do what exactly? Reading the post TadW pointed to, they don't seem to be suing him for anything in particular.
I don't know, but if this same mentality is extended to web forums, IRC networks, and so on, then a lot of people could be having a lot of problems...
One thing I don't see on SEO Book (the website of the person being sued) is any sort of note about comments being the responsibility of whomever posted them (or something along those lines)... Any idea on whether such a notice might have helped either avoid a lawsuit, or at least make it more pointed a lawsuit? I don't know how much those type of notes actually 'count' in the eyes of a greedy corporation... But maybe it would count for something.
