by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - September 6, 2011 - k. Internet Defamation Cases
To those who want to “flame” people or companies on the internet, be aware that libel and defamation can bring defamation litigation against you. In one case back in 2006, a jury awarded an $11 million plus judgment against a defendant who had engaged in rampant defamation on an internet website. Before you make a false statement of fact which affects someone else’s reputation, think again. Are you prepared to deal with the consequences?
