Why would it be litigated overseas? The TOS explicitly state that they're governed by US law, which (oh my!) is clear that truth is an absolute defense to libel. So IANAL but yes, all they have is a civil claim with no stipulated damages.
- jarrett 15y agoBased on the OP, it seems that both parties are overseas. But you're right about the TOS. I think it could go either way.
- jaylevitt 15y agoYou're right - perhaps, even though their threat letter mentions the TOS, their legal strategy is based on the laws of their country instead (e.g. maybe they have a libel law that's more plaintiff-friendly than the US).
