YouTube video of former ’Blair Babe’ abusing hotel staff. I considered embedding this but I think the poor women may have mental health issues. Or did I say that in the first sentence?

Ex-MP in legal action threat over YouTube video (The [Peterborough] Evening Telegraph):

Material posted on the Internet is subject to exactly the same legal rules as material printed in a newspaper or magazine, or broadcast on television or radio.

That means online statements or footage which have the potential to cause damage to a person’s reputation are covered by the laws of defamation, as they are anywhere else.

To protect themselves against legal action for libel, website hosts have a responsibility to ensure their sites do not contain any defamatory material.

If this is the case, why isn’t Amy Winehouse rich from lawsuits?
