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?
