Aaron Wall, the author of SEO Book was sued by Traffic Power for alleged inacurracies and lies appearing in comments other people have on his blog and the confidential information available on the same blog.

As far back as June 4th, 2004 Aaron removed a comment that he thought was offensive and he thought generally he was keeping the content in bounds of any sort of legal limit. If you want to read about the blog comment he mentioned, visit Traffic Power & Cold Call SEO.

From The Intuitive Life Business Blog:

If this case goes to trial, it’ll set an important precedent in the blogging community and the Internet at large, answering a critical question, particularly for business blogs: are the comments others leave on your blog a legal liability?

It would be a pain to fight this case but if he decide to do this then I wish you good luck, Aaron!
