I think the guy is just a wack job who is trying to get free money out of AOL. I am surprised that if this is true, that the national media hasn't picked up on it.

And if you read the AOL EULA it states that AOL "owns" all content of your IM, Chat, and so on. Hense why many of us dispise AOL.

Oh, I don't know - I could readily see something like that being staged - especially if the case revolves around that little itty bitty point in the EULA that AOL owns the IP ... after all, who's responsible for the damage a dog does, if not the owner? Who's responsible for the damage inflicted by a statement, if not the owner of the statement?
'Course, that assumes that the person suing is crafty-crazy, rather than standard-crazy...
