Augen Gold Corp. and its chief executive officer, David Mason, have won a court order directing Stockhouse Publishing Ltd. to help identify three forum posters that Augen and Mr. Mason are suing for defamation. The order, entered in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on Tuesday, July 26, directs Stockhouse to provide any information that could identify "WhattheF," "beachman" and "Clchan," including their IP and e-mail addresses.

The company claims that the posters authored at least 38 defamatory messages between January and May, 2011. The messages called Mr. Mason a "habitual looser [sic]" and a "liar," among other names, and accused him of collecting excessive management fees. The statements were entirely false and were intended to damage the reputations of Augen and Mr. Mason, according to the suit.

As part of the case, the company filed an application for a court order that would direct Stockhouse to provide identifying information for the three posters. It said that Stockhouse refused to provide any information without such an order. The judge granted the unopposed application at a hearing on Tuesday, July 26.

Co's re certainly starting to be very proactive against people that criticize them or their mgmt. I certainly am NOT defending bashers but if I remember correctly , many Augen shareholders were quite peeved at the buyout price of Augen. Maybe these people had something to complain about taking into consideration what happened at the end. If other LSG BB people remember the circumstances maybe

Sort of OT What about expressing an opinion whether positive or negative (where that poster is not paid to post) I cite the example of the Toronto Maple Leafs. 47 years of futility and no playoffs in sight. One could be openly critical how the corporation has allowed the hockey operation to do its thing only to have the team tank at the wrong time. Read FB TML site or any new article that allows

Defamation laws have been in place for centuries. What is unique is requiring internet bulletin board hosts divulge real identities of clients who have committed crimes. I'm in favor of that, btw. "As part of the case, the company filed an application for a court order that would direct Stockhouse to provide identifying information for the three posters."   How is this related
