Defamation is nothing but an attempt to make insult of someone to make a negative image in front of others. This offensive behavior is adopted by most of the people against their rivals. This is usually done to show a negative image of someone in front of others while the person is not the way he is being presented in front of public .the negative effects of new social networks being offered at the internet also includes the increasing ratio of defamation which people are adopting to create negativity intentionally of sometimes un intentionally. Opportunities are there which facilitates the wrong dowers to work easily as they want. In general defamation affects the character of a particular person against whom the action is taken. Usually people defame others to affect someone’s status. When it comes to the act of attacking someone’s repute directly with the words of mouth it is known as slander. Using any other fixed medium to do the same against someone is known as libel.
Person who has been proved guilty for defaming other person can be forced to pay the liability for doing such a characterless act. Proving some one guilty of defamating others is a hectic job. Operators of a blogs are protected against any liability proved against the person guilty of defaming only if the operator did not intentionally participated in helping to insult. A case law suggests the same where the operator of some website was not put to any obligation for publishing defamatory words provided by some party, the operator was provided with the immunity under the communication decency act CDA.
However it is presumed that where an online service provider or the internet provider actively seeks information from other users that eventually leads to misleading act will not be provided any benefit in order to escape from the liability under CDA. In case of Crafano VS metrosplash.com the court ruled on the same footings in awarding damages. The man against whom a suit was filed in court was managing a website for match making, for that the owner of the site collected profiles from people. The web site metrosplash was sued by a plaintiff for providing false information about her. Court made metrosplash liable in making plaintiff defamed.
The main liability lies on person who actually wants or tries to defame the character and the goodwill of other living person in order to get unfair advantage. The actual wrong dower is a person who intends to defame others directly or with the help of any auxiliaries. Such person can be made personally liable for insulting or for expressing wrong statements against any living person. Generally liability is there on the person who defames but by proving innocence one can become protected.
People sometimes become very aggressive in taking revenge against those who put a negative impact on their character through misleading words spoken or written and prefer consulting a court to do the justice. They find their decision complicating for themselves most of the times for the reason that by going to court of law the matter becomes vivid to a lay man and transforms from specific to general and he can make any image accordingly.
Another concern may be that no matter the allegations upon plaintiff were false it may not be easy to prove them wrong very easily. Most of the audience will conclude that the allegations were true when the suit will be ended without proving the defendant, a guilty party.
However defamation cases when proved and when there becomes any doubt, the benefit is awarded to victim. There is a case law of Griffin vs. Luban the defendant was proved faulty of continuous posting of offensive massages to damage plaintiff’s professional capabilities. It was held that plaintiff at first obtained $25,000.00.
A legal practitioner certainly can help in winning a suit. Proper evidences against the defendant would be required in proving his fault other wise he can be smart enough in escaping from the fact that he causes damage.
