Defamation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This article is about the malicious statement. For the 2009 film, see Defamation (film).

"Libel" and "Slander" redirect here. For other uses, see Libel (disambiguation) and Slander (disambiguation).

"Vilification" and "Calumny" redirect here. For the hate crime, see racial vilification. For the Catholic sin, see detraction.

Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, or traducement—is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation. Most jurisdictions allow legal action to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism.

Under common law, to constitute defamation, a claim must generally be false and have been made to someone other than the person defamed.[1] Some common law jurisdictions also distinguish between spoken defamation, called slander, and defamation in other media such as printed words or images, called libel.[2]

Similar to defamation is public disclosure of private facts, which arises where one person reveals information that is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person. "Unlike [with] libel, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy."[3][not verified in body]. False light laws protect against statements which are not technically false but misleading.[4]

In some civil law jurisdictions, defamation is treated as a crime rather than a civil wrong.[5] The United Nations Commission on Human Rights ruled in 2012 that the criminalization of libel violates freedom of expression and is inconsistent with Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[6]

A person who defames another may be called a "defamer", "famacide", "libeler" or "slanderer".

RE:Libel

"Truth is an absolute defence to defamation..."fair comment" as it's also known."

Not all the time.

Truth Not Always a Defence

Similar to defamation is public disclosure of private facts, which arises where one person reveals information that is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person. "Unlike [with] libel, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy."[3][not verified in body]. False light laws protect against statements which are not technically false but misleading.[4]


Those individuals whose private information was revealed in the stolen spread sheet and then leaked to the public on Stockhouse were likely not to happy having their private information broadcast to the world.

RE:Libel

Yes. ALL the time. Your own infallible source (wikipedia!) even recognizes that.

It is also exceedingly difficult to demonstrate harm to reputation. It's pretty concerning that the company chooses to spend money on pursuing this pointless nonsense. At least the Canadian Carbon case is being pursued with private funds.
