Internet Defamation of Character
Internet defamation of character, also referred to as cyber defamation, is pretty much what you would expect it to be. It is a false statement made against a person, product or company.  Its intent is malicious; that is, it is made with deliberate intent to harm you, or your company’s, reputation. Currently, most internet defamation is in written form, although we are fast approaching the day when oral blogs will become just as easy to post as written ones.
Although ‘real life’ defamation and the cyber variety appear to be the same, they are not. For both, accusations of criminal activity, immoral acts, (and the like) are considered defamatory. These are easy to prove, but they do not constitute the majority of internet defamation.
Most internet defamation of character comes in the form of blogs. In the US, most courts consider blogs to be nothing more than vehicles for opinion sharing. As opinions are not facts, disparaging remarks that appear in blogs are tough to prove as defamatory. No proof, no recourse.
Another unique feature of internet defamation is that finding the source of an offending blog can be problematic. Anyone with internet access can open an infinite number of email accounts and blog away anonymously. Even if you are lucky enough to be the recipient of only favorable blogs, you need to be proactive in guarding against defamation. You never know where it will come from, but one thing is certain – once the negative remarks start, they never seem to end. Forewarned is forearmed!
