Free Dominion and Mark and Connie Fournier along with several contributors to the site are the subject of defamation lawsuits by human rights lawyer Richard Warman and political activist Warren Kinsella. In March 2009 the Fourniers were ordered by an Ontario Superior Court judge to turn over information about eight anonymous posters to the site in relation to the Warman lawsuit and to pay $5,000 in court costs to the plaintiff. The Fourniers have indicated that they will likely comply with the ruling rather than appeal.[6] In early 2008, the website was sold to Liberty News Service in Panama.
