this

The gutless, worthless jackals

and this

AFF is one of the largest monetary supporters of pirate sites on the planet

both seem to be very hard for him to prove and I would think AFF could fight it... he isnt stating those as opinions

but I am certainly no lawyer

The saying is that the best defense against libel or slander is the truth.

I think it's safe to say that its true that AFF supports pirate sites in a big way by buying adspace on damn near all of them, thus keeping the pirate sites in business.

as for calling the FSC gutless jackals. Thats perfectly OK If I accuse them of a crime they havent been convicted of thats possible libel if I call them a den of theives thats still just opinion so its OK

Now ya know....

I've seen no evidence that FSC or ASCAP either one have a true mission beyond cashing checks.

But then how many people in this business can you name who have the integrity to turn down a large check?

There's no law against calling someone a name. As for saying AFF is 'ONE OF THE largest monetary supporters", there's no way they can disprove that. He didn't say they were THE largest.

are Jeff M and Farrel T involved with this organisation?

[MikeSouth]

to my knowledge they are not involved
