- Some of you may have heard of Barrett Vs Rosenthal. I'm Rosenthal. After 7 long, expensive years of litigation, I recently prevailed in a California Supreme Court Decision which protects web posters from being sued for reposting the words of another. I quote from The Matrix: "Fate, it seems, is not without a touch of Irony." While suing me for libel (& losing) ... the plaintiffs and their public relations connections have waged massive smear campaigns of monumental proportions against me and the other defendants.
