Don't make any Mistakes! (Score 1)

Libel law isn't necessairly a bad thing.

I remember hearing (on NPR) about a couple who published a book about some of the *not so good* things that Monsanto is doing with genetic alteration of food. They had a (large) publisher lined up for their book and, just days before the book was going to print that the publisher called them to cancel the agreement.

Monsanto had gotten word about the contents of the book and threatend a libel suit against the publisher of the book.

They kept looking around and eventually found a publisher out of Colorado (boulder?) that had a small press and was willing to be their publisher. They asked him "What kind of Insurance (for a libel suit) do you carry?" He said, "NONE, so all of your facts better be there!"

The truth is that there are not that many libel suits that suceed. At least here in the US, hardly any libel suits end up going to trail.
