In Reply to: Not merely false, but knowingly false, makes it defamation posted by Jay Buridan on August 6, 2007 at 16:02:47:
Public figures must show intentional or reckless misrepresentations. Private individuals, and most of your proposed targets would be private individuals, need only show that the statement about them was false and disparaging. In fact, if the statement is in writing or widely broadcasted (libel) then they need not even prove actual damages.
Anyway, that's my recollection from law school, which was about 14 years ago. Now I do licensing and collaboration agreements with biotech companies, so what do I know?
But it's a risky area and not worth pursuing, though part of me thinks it's a neat idea!
