There's already case law showing labeling a novel fiction is not necessarily enough to protect yourself from losing at defamation litigation.

There's already case law showing labeling a novel fiction is not necessarily enough to protect yourself from losing at defamation litigation.
- brycedriesenga 4y agoWell, that seems ridiculous, but I'd be curious to find the actual case.
- notahacker 4y agoIs it really that ridiculous? If someone writes a novel with an extremely detailed and believable backdrop full of real famous people people and detailed descriptions of actual events which also happens to include some salacious allegations about one of those famous people, and readers generally believe that salacious allegation is one of the bits of the backdrop to the story which actually happened, is that any less harmful to that person's reputation than a tweet?
