>>>A defamation lawsuit launched against rock singer Courtney Love is scheduled to go to court on Feb. 6. Love is accused of slandering fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir... via Twitter. Not only that, but the results of this trial could affect Twitter--and how users go about their business on the site--forever.
The allegations of the lawsuit are rather simple. On March 17, 2009, Courtney Love wrote a series of insulting messages via her @CourtneyloveUK Twitter account directed at fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir. Love and Simorangkir were embroiled in a dispute over a $4,000 payment for clothing received by the musician.
