I wonder, what about free speech at the bar. Anyone who has frequented bars will know what I am talking about:

a. Liquir looses the tongue and confuses the mind. Friendly, common, name calling and acusations become blurred. Because of the liquor many things are said that would otherwise be not said.

b. Those at the bar are likely from the neighborhood and know the neighbors. Acusation really hurt. Nasty things are said about those present and those not present that are personally known to those speaking and listening.

Does anyone know of a case of a defamation lawsuit for what was said at a bar? Brawls yes, lawsuits no.

Why is defamation at cyberspace important but no one gets sued for defaming at a bar?

Is it that there is a presumption of free speech at the bar or if one is under the influence of alcohol? Or it it that there is a presumption that cyberspace owners are moneyed?

Or it it because cyberpace is in writing and leaves a document trail and no witnesses are required? Yes, that it. Solution: make writing illegal. Go back to making your acusations and name calling at the bar and on the radio. The good old days when speech was speech and was thus free!

I checked this link out.
It is a free file host site.
The zip file contains a PDF of the court papers.
Next,
Find the line items.
They are NOT available on this site any more, but Google is
magic, is it not ?

No way! The publisher of this site deletes posts he doesn’t like? That means he only leaves up what he wants, that’s way more than a content filter (even if you discount the fact the site belongs to him, is operated by him, he profits from it and all the other inconvenient contradictions)
