Finally there is the California anti-SLAPP laws that put the onus squarely on the plaintiff to prove intent. SAEI has to prove that what the "bashers" said on message boards was not only inaccurate but that the posters knew it was inaccurate and posted it with the intent to damage the company - with malice. to do that would need to start with proving financial incentive most likely and that one would be hard to prove.

Not only that: The plaintiffs would have to prove all that at the OUTSET of the case, before the defendants are required to show anything at all.
