Defamation and Slander on the Internet



Most states require by law that you can't post, print or say anything that could hurt a business on the internet even if there is an issue with that company unless.



1 you have given them written notice that you will do so if the issue isn't resolved. (You did this in your e-mail, now for where you messed up)



2. After written notice has been given and received then you have to wait, most states require around 3 months for the company in question to fix the problem, but you'd have to check with your state of Florida and California as well since that's where sportscarmotion is located. (You waited 4 days; it's nice of you to post the e-mail dates in your copies of the e-mails messages and on 3 diffrent RX7 forums that I've seen) For this reason it is very possible that sportscarmotion could get a lawyer and sue you as well, and probably for more $ than your 2 injectors and lawyer fee's.



Just thought you'd like to see where you've made a big mistake. Maybe you should go ask your lawyer about that and spend some more $ since you want to bring the law in to a very simple miscommunication.



You should also learn how to 1. READ and 2. Not be an ass.



I'm sure you would get a lot more respect and help with any issues that you need help on in the future.

mazdadrifter 10-02-2003 12:30 PM

I thought slander cases are only brought when the supposed incodent was untrue.



It sounds to me like himni is trying to get things worked out, and I hope it is, but I have been stiffed before (not by loi), and the only thing that kept me from driving 1000 miles to the guys house and kicking him in the nuts was the lack of an address.



I'm puzzled how it would be considered slander to post your experiences with a company.




SLANDER: Slander is a spoken defamation.





CAN I SUE SOMEONE WHO SAYS OR WRITES SOMETHING DEFAMATORY ABOUT ME?

In order to prove defamation, you have to be able to prove that what was said or written about you was false. If the information is true, or if you consented to publication of the material, you will not have a case. However, you may bring an defamatory action if the comments are so reprehensible and false that they effect your reputation in the community or cast aspersions on you.


So no case could be brought against Himni for what he has said.

Turbo II 10-02-2003 05:51 PM

has this been worked out yet?

Digisan 10-02-2003 06:30 PM

A comment on defamation and slander: If he's telling the truth then it's not defamation or slander. I'm not taking his side, just letting you know that he can post whatever he wants as long as it's true.

Threatening a business is usually not the best way to go about getting your money back. I had some trouble with Sportcarmotion, but I stayed polite and patient and everything worked out in the end.

You, should get it straight, Dargon.

......In order to prove defamation, you have to be able to prove that what was said or written about you was false. If the information is true, or if you consented to publication of the material, you will not have a case.



Establishing the truth is the single most effective defense that can be offered. If the remark is truthful and it "hurts", is embarrassing, or subjects you to ridicule, there is little you can do. Unfortunately, unless the remark is false, you have no recourse.



defense is claiming, and proving, that the statement is true, for "truth is an absolute defense".



There is NO case, sorry. It's time to grow up,dragon

Doesn't matter if it's the truth or not, most states require 1. The company is notified and 2. That they are given time to fix the problem before you can make things public. After that time period you can still write what you want about them, but most people will chose not to since the problem is usually taken car of. It doesn't matter if the company was completely wrong or not and if you are telling the complete truth or not. You still have to wait and give them time before you can run out and start yelling to the public. There are special laws that protect companies and businesses and the economy. These differ greatly from an attack on an individual person. The stuff Hemini looked up is not what I'm talking about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libel#American_law



I don't think so, words aren't redefined to suit different situations:



"Laws regulating slander and libel in the United States began to develop even before the American Revolution. In one of the most famous cases, New York publisher John Peter Zenger was imprisoned in 1734 for printing attacks on the governor of the colony. Zenger won his case by establishing that the truth is an absolute defense against libel charges. Previous English defamation law had not provided this guarantee.



Zenger's case also established that libel cases, though they were civil rather than criminal cases, could be heard by a jury, which would have the authority to rule on the allegations and to set the amount of monetary damages awarded.



Although the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was designed specifically to protect freedom of the press, the Supreme Court long neglected to use it to rule on libel cases, leaving libel laws mixed across the states. In 1964, however, the court issued an opinion in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, dramatically changing the nature of libel law in the United States. In that case, the court determined that public officials could only win a suit for libel if they could demonstrate "actual malice" on the part of reporters or publishers. In that case, "actual malice" was defined as "knowledge that the [information] was false" or that it was published "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not." This decision was later extended to cover "public figures", although the standard is still considerably lower in the case of private individuals.



In 1974, in Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., the Supreme Court ruled that a plaintiff could not win a libel suit when the statement(s) in question were of opinion rather than fact. In the words of the court, "under the First Amendment, there is no such thing as a false idea". For example, contrast "I think Jo is a bad lawyer", which is opinion, with "Jo doesn't know the law," which is defamatory per se."



Hope that helps

hi paul,

I have no problem sending the $200 dollar back to you, my only question is will you sent those 880 back to us? I'm not sure who is at fault here, either my guy who take down the order is mistaking for something else or he simply send out what anyone ordered. He is not a rotary guy, he drive a supra. As you may notice, there isn't one other person that have anything negative to say about us in the forum . we're not here to try to rip anyone off ,especially for $200 dollar. i hope we can get it take care of soon. I will send you the 200 dollar back only you will return those 2 injectors.

You guys should do one of those escrow things, they do them on ebay, he puts the money in an escrow deal and when he recieves the item you both sign off on it and you get your money.

It was a joke, this topic has served it's purpose, it's never really been on topic, I have been more then patient with your personal attacks at me, but it's getting old. if you attack everyone that attempts to help you, then that more then likely is the reason you are getting no where with your current issue.



And actually, the suggestion I made and you quoted, but apparantly did not read would have solved your issue.



Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.



Contact me directly if you would like to discuss any of the details.
