Underpaid MPs, Libel online, motivated bikers and some aliens

A few assists and pointers on writing about real people online and how to avoid being sued for libel. My legal consultant talls me it's fairly accurate...

Not a bad little selection - reposted for those bikers not already reading Jennie (you should be, damnit)

Duncan does his whole 'look, the most popular song won' analysis (again) with good reasoning (again). Pretty sure he's right as well, yes, there are blocks, but El Tel's predictions came next to bottom.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys. That's why most British MPs are useless apparatchiks (well, that and the voting system). While they get way above median, they get way below what the most talented 0.001% of us should earn.

Paleontologist SF geek isn't happy with CGI SF aliens - even Dr Who and Trek did weird better, let alone nature.

Um, yeah. Having a copy of the contents of this can get you thrown into jail. Well, if you've got brown skin or you attend a mosque. But the US air force is free to host it on a public website, right? GAH!

But it's definitely a Govt website. As you said, it's freely available online to anyone looking, in more than one place. To get arrested and your house searched for DLing a copy and asking a friend to print it it ludicrous, and in my view counter productive. It's not the first time it's happened to my knowledge either, although I forget the details of the previous time so can't link.
