I don't think the case is similiar, Rock. The hurdle he has to overcome is the DMCA which offers safe harbor to Internet and web service providers. Fuckfrance, like AOL, cannot be held responsible for the comments made by members in its forums if we abide by the terms of the DMCA (which we do). I did not post the allegedly infringing material, and we promptly responded to the complaint. Case law would indicate he'd have no luck obtaining jurisdiction in Florida.
I, too, would like to hear his theory on damages and remedy.
