Whirlpool controversy

Template:Ongoing lawsuit On September 11th, 2007, Whirlpool announced that its founder, Simon Wright, was being sued[5] by 2Clix for alleged 'Injurious Falsehood'[6][7], a tort not dissimilar to defamation under Australian law, resulting in "a severe downturn in monthly sales"[8]. Specifically, 2Clix are claiming that comments on the Whirlpool Forums regarding alleged major issues with the product were 'False and Malicious'. 2Clix "quantifies its loss in income between January 2007 to July 2007 at approximately AU$150,000 per month" and is suing for $150,000 plus interest, plus legal costs[9]. The lawyer who drafted the law suit intended [citation needed] to sue for $150,000 per month, but a careful reading of the statement of claim reveals that they are only claiming a single figure of $150,000.

Whirlpool users have begun donating money to assist the site in its coming legal battle. Some users claim to have personally donated more than $1000 through Paypal[10] and the Managing Director of PIPE Networks has personally pledged $10,000 to support Whirlpool's cause[11].
