Defamation is a false statement of fact that harms a person's reputation. It can be either libel (written) or slander (spoken). In essence, defamation is a civil wrong (a tort) that provides a remedy for individuals who have suffered harm to their reputation due to false statements made about them to a third party.
Key Elements of Defamation ========================== - False Statement of Fact The statement must be untrue and presented as a fact. - Harm to Reputation The statement must cause actual damage to the person's reputation or cause them to suffer special damages. - Publication The statement must be communicated to a third party (someone other than the person defamed). - Fault The defendant must have been negligent or malicious in publishing the statement. --------------------- You can argue with me, you can criticize me specifically, you can annoy me, you can disagree with me, you can bore me, you can legitimately blame me, you can laugh about me, you can talk about me, you can offend me, you can even insult me and a lot more. But nobody shall make untrue statements about me and my work. --------------------- Today, I've moved the situation to a point where it has become so clearly visible like never before on this mailing list. There's a point where Opinion ends and Defamation begins. Some people should take a moment and think about this. softworkz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
