Hi all,
Is that possible to make a libel protection to the Internet users?
Anyone have an idea how to protect the libel speech from other people.
According to the case in the USA. that 'Judge James Richman dismissed
part of a lawsuit filed by two physicians who claimed that a woman
re-posted a libelous article that accused one of the doctors of
stalking a Canadian journalist.
"[A]s a user of an interactive computer service, that is, a newsgroup,
[the defendant] is not the publisher or speaker of [the] piece. Thus,
she cannot be civilly liable for posting it on the Internet. She is
immune," wrote Richman.'
