An assistant principal is suing two students and their parents over a MySpace page that depicted the administrator as a lesbian and contained "obscene comments, pictures and graphics," according to the court filing.
I have a friend who graduated from Clark High this past spring. I'll hit her up for any info.

How do comments relate to libel online in general?
Like if I start insulting a guy on Usenet, a BBS, a Wiki, or start posting something insulting about a guy on MSN Spaces, MySpace, or so forth. When does the line cross from free-speech and over to libel?
Anyone have a good readable summary?

I'm a little rusty since I took High School law, but If I remember correctly any statement that is damaging to a persons reputation or standing is considered libel. Making derogetory (sp?) comments about ones sexual preferences (true or not) is a discrimitory (sp?) comment and sibject to the statutes of Libel. Calling someone a dickweed moron however falls under free speach and is not considered an offense under the law.

It was my intellectual copyright- it's implied and the Supreme Court will back me up on this (assuming I'm a huge corporation looking to protect my ass).

You called me "fucker"! I call slander on your ass! Probably Libel too if this year does not turn around...

Hey wait! There's no women on this thread. I'm suing Charles Capps for sexual discrimination even though I'm a man.

I'm suing you for not making it a class-action lawsuit -claiming your suit excludes me from any proceeds of your settlement! I am emotionally traumatized by said exclusion!

People are getting way too sensitive.

Hi,
Charles Capps called me in to be the token set of tits so that Mars Needs Women doesn't sue.
Do I get my check now?

Is this the part where we demand proof of the aforementioned tits, and the whole thing degrades into testosteronic drooling? 'Cause, I mean, I'm up for that.

This is totally off topic, but we just got a new kitten, a long-haired orange tabby with stripes. So we named him Hobbes.
