RE: AMA lawyers

That's just wrong. You can find some Supreme Court cases requiring "malice" for a finding of liability in some, but not all, defamation cases. But "malice" as used there doesn't mean evil intent. It...

RE: AMA lawyers

Milkovich is an odd and kind of scary case, which I have written about in some of my work. The defendant made statements that were phrased as opinions and which looked to me like opinions, too, but...

RE: AMA lawyers

Well, OK, that's clear enough. You might add a disclaimer to your posts along the lines of "when I say the law is such and such, I don't mean the law of the US or any state, I mean my own version of...

RE: AMA lawyers

Well, OK. I was confused by your "True," since the rest of your post seemed to be saying the opposite. So what quotes from legal authorities were you referring to?

RE: AMA lawyers

So why in the world are you posting statements about what the law requires?

Sometimes people post questions about electronics, a subject about which I know practically nothing. These posts do...

RE: AMA lawyers

Nothing here says the defendant's motive matters. A reasonable belief that a statement is true is a statement about belief in truth, not motive. Same with "honest belief in soundness." Whether a...

RE: AMA lawyers

RE: AMA lawyers

Huh? The law of defamation has a lot of interesting and arcane characteristics. But the defendant's motive is not one of them. Defaming someone intentionally or negligently is actionable, whether...

RE: AMA lawyers

Since $18 times 140,000 is over $2 million, it seems clear that the AMA is (quite properly) not treating the subscription income as revenue from an unrelated trade or business, despite what seems to...

RE: AMA lawyers

Here's an excerpt from an example in the relevant treasury regulation. Regulations are law (a minor exception aside).

RE: AMA lawyers
