Evony Lawyers are using Draconian Australian defamation laws to sue a blogger, who has been critical of evony.
Don’t play Evony — Bruce On Games

its on wikipedia as well
"On 25 August 2009, Evony's lawyers threatened to sue a critical blogger for defamation.[10] The developers of Evony have denied the allegations from internet blogger Bruce Everiss, based in Coventry, and have sent a cease and desist letter for defamation based on Australian law.[11] Everiss responded by linking to a documentary which reportedly shows evidence of Evony's fraudulent history.[12] The case would have potentially created a legal precedent over defamation charges for worldwide defamation being ordered from a domestic court had Everiss been found guilty.[13] However shortly before the case was due to begin in Sydney, Evony parted with their legal team and asked for an adjournment of the case.[14]"
A bill of rights would stop this ( at least for our country)
But alot of people think this is a waste of time, or there against it because its American..
Most people do not realise there common rights are being violated. The best example i can think of forced union membership in universities, which was corrected by John Howard and the liberal party.
Because the blogger is British, our courts can't do anything, but they can stop the webpage being loaded in Australia ( if evony wins the case the page is illegal). And thus the blog is entered into our fucking mandatory blacklist... there you have it freedom of speech could be potentially be violated...
Don't you think its strange there sueing a UK blogger using courts "Down under" British people must be laughing at us... Imagine what we look like to them. If this case is not thrown out this will be an dismemberment to Australia
