Shar,
It was my goal to give a short introduction to the concept of defamation. Each jurisdiction has different ways to deal with such. But there is a history of the development of the code of defamationand I was going to show those differences and the history of the development. I was going to be complete and cover all the bases from the US and England to the oriant and near east and Austrailia to show the differences and similarities. The code of Hammurabi prescribed cutting out the tongue of a defamer. This is to show that defamation was seruious.
I am not presenting my own ideas here, but cases from the liturature and now I feel that others can look them up on their own.
