I’ve gone ahead and bookmarked http://mbites.com/2008/04/18/libel_and_defamation_law_for_bloggers at Digg.com so my friends can see it too. I simply used Libel and Defamation law for Bloggers at Mike Butcher as the entry title in my Digg.com bookmark, as I figured if it is good enough for you to title your blog post that, then you probably would like to see it bookmarked the same way. Your ROCK Libel and Defamation law for Bloggers at Mike Butcher ! Thanks,http://www.PhillyInjuryLawyer.com

Thanks for all that.
Was sent here by a friend,
as there is a dreadful brawl at Comments on an innocuous, anodyne, post of mine.

Probably not yours, but, a little typo in quoted text
Point 3 of the 10-point test:
“from the fact that every of a libel is a new libel, and each publisher is ”

every (publication) is a new libel?

cheers

I did a similar post years ago – and interviewed the attorney for the New York Times: http://pop-pr.blogspot.com/2005/02/blogs-and-libel-or-damn-nkk.html

Always irked me that it didn’t get more play, but I think I was just too early thinking about the issue.

Hi Mike,

congrats for the nice new blog. Looks much better than the old one.

By the way: Andy from londonbloggers meetup once had a guy from the law firm “Finers Stephens” over who talked about legal problems for bloggers as well. The presentation is here:

Cheers, Mike, but as I
Cheers, Mike, but as I understand it the Reynolds Defence has it’s own problems – the biggest that by giving time to respond the subject has a time window to take alternative action (injunctions etc).

In the case of the Cherie Blair nanny serialisation, they were able to knock-up a judge in a very small number of hours, iirc.

This is what Shillings say:

“If a journalist calls, challenge their ability to meet each point on the list. This will help you establish whether they have done their research if you feel they have’nt satisfied a point, challenge them to alter, delay or stop the story. Then contact Schillings, as a letter from us will go straight to the newspapers’ legal department and help prevent publication.”
