Well, obviously the suit has had a chilling effect since all the postings have all but ceased. Another question is why have YOU not been served since Eade mailed you a letter and knows where you live? What is really going on behind the scenes? Have people been paid off? The motion to dismiss does agree that the posters can be sued but not iHUB.
The suit was filed to stop the alleged libel. It seems to pretty much to have done that, so far.
The motion just sites law that Eade is already aware of. It is possible he could have filed the suit knowing it was not sustainable since the postings have stopped and his job is done.
However, the law set forth in the motion is what a plaintiff's lawyer would research prior to filing a suit. Watch for Eade's response. If he wishes to keep the suit going he may win (even if the court let's him amend the complaint). If he wants to get out without loosing face he may not cite sufficient law, i.e., if folks were paid money and there is no need to go forward.
