The rules of JPF is not protecting us members from these things, so I guess Mike's comments are valid. The JPF FAQ states:

But then again, you can get sued for anything. Imagine the opposite: you get sued for giving bad advice in a thread on a song, with the aledged result that it DIDN'T become a hit! laugh
