Suppose that company A can prove that I directly caused those affiliates to pull their links which then caused them to suffer a financial loss because some of those affiliates were generating substantial signups.

Suppose that company A knows they can prove that what I said was untrue because of some facts that I and the people I'd heard this stuff from weren't privy to?

Not only am I going to be slapped with a libel suit, but chances are very good that they will win because they will be able to prove all the elements of a libel suit.

1. My statements were false
2. My statements were made with the intent of causing ruin
3. My statements were made to more than one person

wow, so you are a lawyer now too? damn, your resume just keeps growing

Does someone need to be a lawyer to understand the law and how not to break it?

Just learn how to go around, and play thru the law, its how cases have been who for years.
Interpreting the law to work in your favor is very successful for lawyers now days.

The "Proven with actual fact evidence" barely works anymore in court cuz it's so hard to do.

I agree that libel is difficult to prove, but then again, I sure wouldn't want to have to pay to defend myself against a libel lawsuit whether I ultimately won or not.

I won't argue that one

But P.S. thats where counter-law suits fall in handy.

what does that have to do with being sued for something I said on a message board?

you know as well as I do that court cases these days are based on how good the lawyers are....

besides, you can't make any money suing someone who has nothing and as tucker already has said on humorous occasions, I am too broke to afford my own things, so I doubt I have much to worry about

LOL. It was in response to your comment about me being a lawyer.

It's amazing how people assume they will never be sued because they don't have a lot of money.

True again, but we all know that 90% of these cases even when lost. People don't do any time. Look at O.J Simpson. That guy owes millions in a civil lawsuit with Nicole's family, and that asswipe is playing golf right now in some multi million dollar golf course.

I think O.J. had a little more money for his defense than Jace does. But hey, Jace isn't worried because he thinks people only sue people that have money.

You don't get it Hammer. He LOST the civil case, regardless of his pricey ass lawyers, They didn't do shit for him.
But he's still golfing it up somewhere. even though he owes them millions??? get it.
Your hanging around rhetorical too much Mighty One, it's starting to show man.
