Media injunctions in Ireland

Please do not mention any one particular case..

What is your opinion on this? I think it's a load of balls.

Can you imagine the amount of money and hours that will be lost if the country goes down this road?

So I don't get a bannin' I've removed the link to what it was about in my previous comment. If ya know what I mean.

Although if you search a certain someones name on a certain site (I mentioned earlier) tis rife with speculation.

Tried to link that vid of Charlie Brooker going on about Super Injunctions but can only find the full episode. Couldn't be ar$ed.

Super-injunctions are nothing. There's another type of injunction in the UK which prohibits the mentioning of any other type of injunction.

The world has well and truly lost the run of itself.

If someone was publishing my name and a video not of me accusing me of something I'd want them to take and down and stop, I can't realy blame him for that.

Yeah, but is it not a reverse "boy who cried "wolf" scenario. "Wolf who cried boy" if you want to be technical.

Or another way to put it is "the lady doth protest too much methinks".

Not really. Only from reading the articles on the injunction I've discovered he denies it's him and claims he was in Japan at the time. If he simply ignored it I'd thought it was him and he was guilty. Also from seeing his picture in the paper I actually don't think it is him either.

There's one link to a site on the site that I linked earlier (this is getting all a bit "pink elephant"), that the ticket and the date of the vid are different?!

I only heard about this when I flicked on six one and saw some chung fleh wanting people to stop talking about him, by talking about him. It's a bit strange in all fairness.

He wants people to stop accusing him and harassing him online as supposedly.

Then just do what "normal" people do and close accounts or delete and create new ones, easily done.

This is all a bit too much trouble for something so little.

Problem is his name would always be associated with dodging a taxi fare. Any perspective employers who google his name wouldn't be long throwing his CV in the bin.

Damage is already done in all fairness. Everyone now knows his name is against this act, you can't escape The Google!

Also if an employer doesn't hire you because you dodged a fare then they're scraping the barrel for excuses.

His name is linked to it but with him also stating he has proof it wasn't him. I doubt many employers would fondly look at people who steal.

That's his or her own fault. He or she doesn't seem too bothered about dragging out what would otherwise be seen as a menial dilemma. If he or she had any sense they'd walk away now; before his or her own actions catapult them into the limelight. Although that's probably what they want in the first place.. sure what will it cost them to challenge such obscure laws.. most likely a lot less than it would cost somebody to being forward a logical case.

You forgot the royal "we".

Mountains out of molehills. Or super-injunctions out of injunctions.

I heard he wasn't in Japan but was in a homosexual brothel up to deeds of deviancy I couldn't describe.

Someone falsely accusing him is now his own fault?

For having a "media hissy fit". Yeah.

Fuck this, lets start a campaign where we insinuate that this chap has committed loads more crimes. We should start a thread for it.


We'll be like civil rights protesters during the 60's except we'll be able to tan and sit where we want on buses.

I'm curious, how can the person in question at such a young age afford to bring the case in the first place?

MagicSean

If the video is not of him then how has he any right to have it removed? The mere fact that he has obtained the injunction is surely proof it was him.

Spook_ie

If it's not him wouldn't the money he spent on the injunction have been better spent on hiring a private detective to find the real guy?

Then sue the taxi driver for saying it was him AND sue the guy for impersonating him?
