Interesting how some companies are fighting back against people defaming on the bullboards. There have now been dozens of cases where successfull suits have been launched against bashers. What is also interesting is that Stockhouse no longer opposes the orders and will quickly relinquish the posters information with a judges order. Seems the judges are also happy to grant them.

Intertainment wins order to identify on-line detractors

Intertainment Media Inc. has won court orders directing Stockhouse Publishing Ltd. to reveal the identities of four forum posters, including one who called the company a "pure scam." The orders, handed down after an application hearing on Wednesday, April 25, instruct Stockhouse to provide names, IP addresses and any other information that will help identify forum users "Nub92," "MaydayMalone," "f3drivr" and "CESpumper." Stockhouse did not oppose the application.

The orders come just weeks after Intertainment filed two defamation suits against the users in the Supreme Court of British Columbia over negative comments in the Stockhouse forums.
