<DIV>Anyone care to give definitions for the following using strictly 2010 data?</DIV>

<DIV>1. Writer</DIV>
<DIV>2. Publisher</DIV>
<DIV>3. Re-publisher</DIV>
<DIV>4. Editor</DIV>

<DIV>Clearly the new Internet requires new regulations that set standards for legal and industrial compliance. In olden views if A said D was a whore, and B repeated it to C -- Then both A&B were "guilty" of Defamation. Likewise if A paper published B saying D was a whore and new damn well that D was not,,,, both BandA could be "guilty" of defamation. Of course truth does not change the defamation but simply is a defense. Now when this list monitors and censors content and then republishes my defamatory remarks regarding A --- well as it stands now the list is at least liable.</DIV>
