Do you even know what you are saying dude? It sounds like you don't even know what back-end means.

What you just did basically is considered libel.

a bit of a stretch. libel only really pertains to news sources or media outlets; like newspapers, magazines, TV news, etc. by definition you're right, but by practice you can't really make a libel case from something posted on a messageboard.

I wrote what I wrote based on an in-person conversation with another member of this board who had what sure seemed like first-hand knowledge of the situation. I'm not going to out them because that's not my place to do so, but I trust what they told me.

hahaha. great justification.

i believe what i do based on what this dude said about what someone else said that happened, and since it sounds like its plausible, well, hey it must be fact!

there is a dude in a wheelchair by the post office here that tells me almost daily that president bush talks to him, and asks his advice on important issues. i mean, thats firsthand enough right? should i get the dudes autograph? maybe ebay it?

Ahem, I may be of some use here. Since Nick is a private person and not a public figure, I think the standards for libel are much lower. As such, I think that "publication"(which is required in ALL libel) requires merely the transmission of information to a third party. This counts. I'm too lazy to look it up, not to mention the fact that I took Torts in 2005.

Haha, I love kids. Seriously, did Scott attack you? Did he rape your mother? No, he made a claim about a person who runs a download company and he didn't feel like naming who he heard it from. It's a bit sketchy sure but it doesn't warrant all the, "Scotts a fucking fuck fuck liar fat fuck cunt nugget shit storm".

Seriously, I don't think deadformat is going to lose any business over this (which is the key for libel, that you can prove it had some negative impact), so chill the fuck out.
