Britain’s libel laws are already notorious for their bias in favor of the claimant and against the defendant, and it is thus not surprising that many a government is growing frustrated with London’s growing rôle as a “libel-tourism” destination (“Barbara Streisand Strikes Again,” October 17, 2009). It is thus good to read that the World Wide Web is creating awkward problems for English courts when it comes to libel. “Bloggers are too numerous and too poor to be sued,” you point out, “and many of the servers that host their libelous musings are based outside England and Wales, and are therefore beyond the reach of English courts.” Libel suits thus often lead to something that bloggers call the “Streisand effect,” a phenomenon named after the unfortunate singer who had tried to block the publication of an embarrassing photograph only to help spread it around the bloggosphere. Bloggers be praised, for they are the only protectors of the unadulterated truth in this crazy world of ours.
