Web Poster Who Republishes Defamation May Be Liable


Metropolitan News-Enterprise reports on the California Court of Appeal for the First Appellate District ruling inBarrett v. Rosenthal: Web Poster Who Republishes Defamation May Be Liable:

A recent federal law that immunizes users of interactive computer services from liability for content authored by others does not abrogate traditional liability for republication of material that one knows or reasonably should know to be false and defamatory, the First District Court of Appeal has ruled.
