Cyberlibel - Be careful with what you post...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/serv.../BNStory/Front/


An Ontario judge has awarded an archeologist $125,000 in damages after a native man used e-mails to smear her as a “grave robber.”

The archeologist's lawyer is calling the ruling a precedent-setting one in the emerging field of Internet libel, a notion that may eventually have a chilling effect on the freewheeling ways computer users send messages.

“People seem to think there is a level of anonymity to e-mail and the Internet. And that it's a lawless area,” said winning lawyer Berkley Sells. “And clearly it is not, nor should it be.”

In a decision released this week, Madam Justice Wailan Low of the Ontario Superior Court sketched out a rough hierarchy of what she called “cyberlibel.”

Posting slanderous remarks on a popular website, where millions of users might pick them up and circulate them, might be one the more egregious uses of technology, she said. But close behind that is e-mailing libellous remarks in an attempt to smear someone's reputation.

“Clearly, the use of e-mail is far more powerful than the sending out of a multiple of hard-copy letters defaming the plaintiff,” Judge Low ruled.
