Welcome to another pile of links. I am aiming for a mix of law, small business, tech, and occasionally something just random and interesting. Feel free to discuss any of the links in the comments or let me know what sort of links you might be interested in reading. Entrepreneur.com - 5 of the Wackiest Fast Food Lawsuits ever filed

Mixed results. iO9.com - Court Determines that Bloggers are Journalists Bloggers should definitely be treated same as journalists. In this day and age there is really no difference. Inc.com - Businesses that Ban Bad Reviews, Congress is Coming for you Take a look at Palmer v. Klearger as mentioned in the article. A $3,500 "fee" in retaliation for a bad review that went unpaid and ended up on a credit report. Glad to see the Court case went the right way.
