' Wrote:Rommie. It's just basic common sense. I could paste the laws from some countries here. Would that make you feel better?
If you use basic common sense and life example, the payment will be somewhere between few thousand Sirius credits to few hundred thousand. I've already posted the summary on USA practice in that case (although it's wiki, but still).
Also I bet RL lawyers here can bring in more things, like Liberty's "jurisdiction" over something that didn't happen on it's territory, etc.
Quote:Between 1992 and August 2004, 41 criminal defamation cases were brought to court in the United States, among which six defendants were convicted. From 1965 to 2004, 16 cases ended in final conviction, among which nine resulted in jail sentences (average sentence, 173 days). Other criminal cases resulted in fines (average fine, 1700 USD), probation (average of 547 days), community service (on average 120 hours), or writing a letter of apology.[12]
Sure, sue CR for 1700 Sirius Credits, I think they'd accept that?
Note: I'm not acting as a member of CR in that case, and not representing anything related to official CR position.
EDIT: And all I wrote here is offtopic anyway, since the thread is about "Courts on disco", not about that particular case and that particular sum.
