"but your claim seems to be solely on the fact you can commit libel from what seems to be the USA on a website not hosted in the UK." We're sidetracked, but that's pretty much the definition of libel tourism, and the UK is notorious for it: http://www.economist.com/node/12903058 http://www.economist.com/node/12903058 The UK routinely finds libel judgements against non-Britons, outside of Britain, having essentially no connection with the UK. It's an extremely broken system responsible for widespread legal harassment outside of Britain (examples in article). It's not enforceable in the US obviously. There's a US law that explicitly prohibits that, provoked by a particularly egregious case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPEECH_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPEECH_Act
