Blogosphere libel standards

As pointed out by commenter Scott McDonald in our earlier thread, an editor/commentator at NetworkWorld thinks Eric Goldman’s animadversions on lawyers suing Yahoo might strike those lawyers as itself cause for legal action (Paul McNamara, “More blogging off the cliff … lawyer-style”, May 12). Glenn Reynolds takes note of the controversy (May 12) and points to an SSRN paper of his own entitled, “Libel in the Blogosphere: Some Preliminary Thoughts“. Comments on the Goldman/Yahoo case: Denise Howell, Evan Schaeffer.
