Evbn | karma 3114 | avg karma 1.08 · | 2013-03-10 03:10:31+00:00

If you commit libel, you are liable.

If your corporation commits libel, you are not liable.

That's one problem.

Libel does not require that the writer knows what he is saying is false (though doing so will increase the amount of damages you can collect). You can successfully sue for libel by only showing that the statements made against you were false, and that you were damaged by them.
