[net.misc] libel

filed01@abnjh.UUCP (H. Silbiger) (08/08/83)

Truth is an absolute defense in libel, since
by definition libel is falsehood.
You must be able to prove what you said was true.
For example: the statement "they don't refund money"
may be be hard to prove true, but the statement
"they did not refund my money" could be shown
to be true.
