YES--MOST LAWYERS DO NOT OR HAVE NOT FOUND INTERNET LAW AS A PRODUCTIVE MEANS OF INCOME YET.
WHAT ONE DOES AND SAYS IS SLANDER OR LIABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
THE INTERNET IS A FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS ENTITY. INTERNET LAW IS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY STATUS.
THE SAME LAWS THAT APPLY TO WRITING A LETTER AND DEFAMING ONES CHARACTER OR DEMEANOR CAN BE AN INJURIOUS CHARGE AND AS SUCH CAN BE A CRIMINAL CHARGE.
LEX LOCUS DELICTI
TELL AN ATTORNEY THIS AND WATCH HIS EYES LIGHT UP.
WITH REGARD TO DEFAMATION--MUST SHOW THAT STATEMENT WAS AT LEAST NEGLIGENT WITH RESPECT TO TRUTH OR FALSITY....GERTZ V WELCH, INC. 418 US 323, 345 (1974)
HAVE FUN--TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY--WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND-

Honestly I think this is the wrong place to ask that question, perhaps a section for lawyers? What type of "harm" is it causing?
