Following the news of Morrissey signing to Sanctuary and the airing of the documentary "The Importance Of Being Morrissey", things have slowed down a bit. It's nothing out of the ordinary considering rumors of the new album and a tour in the near future.
Regarding the site, I am asked every so often what the status of the threat of the lawsuit from a couple months ago is. My lawyer has not received any sort of response or follow through from Morrissey's lawyers Tesser & Ruttenberg since then so I think it's safe to assume that the issue is dead and I won't have to mention it again. Where I decide to take the site from here I am still not certain, so for now keep up the good contributions as usual.

Actually, it has been this website. David - I appreciate the work and dedication that you have given to us with little compensation in return. I hope that you keep up this site, and pass it on to people that you can trust if you ever decide to move on to other things.

The Truth (Score:0, Redundant)
There will always be people who think that Morrissey can do no wrong and you can physically beat them around the head with a fact and they STILL wont believe it
Morrisseys' musical genius has never been in doubt, nor his influence on the music industry
That does not mean he is perfect
Fortunately the overwhelming majority of Morrissey fans have informed opinions as was clearly demonstrated by the postings in response to the original question
David Tseng I have met personally and communicated with on many occasions
He is a man of integrity and dedication and has put countless hours into this site and god alone knows how much of his own money
He was ill served by threats of legal action and abusive emails from idiots, some of whom were part of the Morrissey entourage
The fact remains the money from the last tour is still owed to many people
I can think of two crew members who would welcome the opportunity to be called a liar face to face by any of the sycophants who feel we are lying
Its time to move on from this subject and appreciate Davids' work on this site
The legal action was never going to amount to anything as all of us from the last tour knew
I personally emailed Morrisseys representatives on several occasions, received replies and was never once threatened with legal action even though I invited them to sue me
Appreciate David for his hard work and providing an incredibly unique and valuable platform for us all to post, rant, praise, or just simply stay in contact with each other
And those who can do nothing but abuse with no informed opinion, maybe its time you found another artist to pretend to be a fan of
Peace
Keep up the good work David (Score:1)

As a french followers of Moz since more than 20 years now
I really know your subject
I can tell you that the job you do is quality so you have to continue i think you've got the faith to do it
But the real problem is that times have changed years have passed and Moz fans have changed too and not to good
And what happen now is that sometimes subjets on your site are really crap exactly like tabloid who contributed of the exil of mOz in your contry
Just one thing i have to tell you is to be very carrefully with the comments of some prentendous "fans" who contribute to things happens why the lawyers
Good luck from your friends in France

Just one thing: The moderators. Some of the rating is insane. I've had the pleasure of moderating once or twice, but never have I used that power to settle any petty, personal scores with other users, like some moderators do. David, make them stop. I think some of them might be illiterate.

Morrissey continues to be creative. What is so sad and deeply worrying is that people continually, time and time again, try to discredit him, report total untruths, or just publish plain lies.
Be on your guard and don't believe rumours or comments in the messageboard (or on the site) unless they come from Morrissey (via Blossom) or Boz.

My hope. (Score:2, Interesting)
This site is an unequivocal and integral part of being a Morrissey fan today. The work that has been put into it, and that continues to go into it, deserves the utmost commendation, and to a fan such as myself the information it provides is invaluable.
I understand that David must be disenchanted by this unpleasant and hurtful episode, but it is my hope that this website will continue long into the future and that I - amongst others - will continue to be amazed by, and grateful for, the news it provides and the community it represents.
In the event this does tragically herald the end of Morrissey-solo I would like to profoundly thank David, and wish him all the best in future.

Publishing Responsibilities (Score:0)
1) The owner/publisher of any website has an overall responsibility (as the owner/publisher) for the information (or postings) that are published herein for all the world to read.
2) If people find particular comments, postings or stories to be offensive (and many already ARE in my opinion) Mr Tseng must monitor and remove these posts as a responsible website owner/publisher within a 'reasonable' amount of time.
If someone writes and asks him to remove a post or comment, which they consider to be a cause for concern, then Mr Tseng also has a duty to that person to remove any offending comments.
3) If Mr Tseng refuses to remove offending comments, and receives more warning letters, then one course of action is that his legally owned domain name (morrissey-solo.com) will be closed down and put into a holding position on legal grounds. He will then be heading into a lengthy legal process that will, most probably, tie him up in knots for some months.
4) In serious cases, issues connected to slanderous comments (and general deformation of charactor) may occur and therefore Mr Tseng as the owner/publisher also has a reponsibility to remove these posts within a reasonable period of time to stop this ever becoming a problem.
5) Mr Tseng HAS been asked to remove posts.
6) Mr Tseng does NOT appear to be willing to remove ANY posts.
The only outcome therefore is that he will be the loser, for certain, if he continues to carry-on like this !

II: Any expectation outlined in this posting is flawed. As recent details with reporters and their integrity, the CIA, and the "16 Presidental Words" on Weapons of Mass Destruction have revealed, there is no realistic way to circumvent "false/slanderous/etc." postings.
Gamma: I have an itch that I have to scratch. Give me a moment. Okay, there, that's better.
D: I find "Publishing Responsibilities" to be offensive, and I want it removed immediately. Freedom of Speech, what's that? Nope, not having it, remove it. I don't care if you are a private citizen and not in the public eye. I find it "politically incorrect"...I think you actually sexually harassed me.
5a (Subsection II-d.): I would like to voice my concern for the excessive use of the word/letter "I". This is obviously an opinion, and therefore should not be published.

I don't understand why people think that Morrissey has 'threatened and intimidated David' -oh come on - The Communications Decency Act is a difficult one to judge if this did get much further. David really has to be careful.
Morrissey is a 'public' figure (in the eyes of the law) but it would be easy to how 'defendants' acted with malice in publishing the statements in question. David could also have removed them, but deliberately did not. I wonder why David is taking this course of action? He seems to want to let everyone have a chance to say anything - but it is dissapointing that he is. In the end, we will all lose out.
This always seems to happen - Morrissey is right on this one - because everyone dissapoints you and totally let's you down.

Furthermore, personally I wouldnt car if Morrissey-Solo disappeared. People there are other ways to find out info about Morrisset---use your heads.
