Although some people prefer to absorb information by text, I know others enjoy video. So here is a link to my Defamation Law Channel on YouTube. Hope you find it helpful. I also discuss matters relating to California Anti-SLAPP law.
During World War Two, when faced with the menace of the Axis, the greatest criminal conspiracy of all time, President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not hesitate to take a hard stand. 'We will meet force with greater force, violence with greater violence,' he declared. This is the only kind of language some people understand--and the only kind of action they fear (or even take seriously). -- J. Paul Getty
Even though Getty was discussing his son's kidnapping in specific, and the decline of Western civilization in general, his words apply with equal force to certain individuals who use the internet as a weapon to destroy the reputations of others.
Getty has it right: some people only respond to force. It's the only language they understand--and the only action they fear.
Yet many clients have a hard time understanding this. They assume that talking or trying to reason with the defamer will produce results. But they are wrong. The only proper response in these circumstances is to use unremitting, overwhelming force. You must use all legal and ethical means to make this kind of person stop. This means you must file a lawsuit. Then when you get a Judgment, you must enforce it. And after all this if the defamer still doesn't get the hint: you ask the Court to put them in jail. Period.
I recently wrote a post on my other blog (yes, I have more than one!) called: Adrianos Facchetti? Why Having A Unique Name Is A Double-Edged Sword. There I write about a topic you've probably never thought of but should. Enjoy.
