Defamation by domain name
- shrikant 17y agoAs an aside: In a rather shocking moment of self-discovery, I realised I agreed that a domain name like http://glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com/ http://glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com/ can be defamation, but once I read a bit further and found out Glenn Beck is a conservative Fox News talking head, I decided to change my stance, internally citing 'satire' as justification. I appall myself.
- jacquesm 17y agoAny public figure should have a skin thick enough to deal with stuff like this. Fox News, CNN or the BBC it shouldn't make any difference. The fact that the guy is a conservative talk show host is entirely his problem, if you want to live a quiet life then you shouldn't have your head on TV all the time. Don't feed the trolls. And he should read up on the 'streisand' effect, I'm pretty sure that this whole thing will attract 10x the viewers it would have otherwise. But then again, both parties benefit from that so I guess this will continue for a while.
