Jim,

Are you an attorney? I am! Can you give legal support as to why a publications against an alias cannot support a cause of action in libel? Is this statutory/interpretation or are you basing your judgement on common law? Or is it both? Which state's law applies on the internet (once we know that we can determine a definition)? Or is it federal law?

Further, once you determine the controlling jurisdiction can you provide a layman's legal opinion regarding constitutes "libel" on the internet, if it does at all?

Finally, if the statement does establish libel, are there any affirmative or other defenses available to the speaker?

I would refrain from making statement of law without relevant legal support. I'm neither a basher or long. I'm only informing you to not practice law without a license.

Jc law.
