Thread: David Letterman

Black's Law Dictionary:

Lible: "A method of defamation expressed by print, writing, prictures or signs. In its most general sense, any publication that is injurious to the reputation of another. A false and unprivileged publication in writing a defmatory materal. (INSERT CITATIONS HERE) A maliciously written or printed publication which tends to blacken a person's reputation or to expose him to public hatred, contempt, or ridicule, or to injury him in his business or profession."

Loss of business is not a prerequisite for a libel suit, and I doubt a suit from Bristol/Willow would be dismissed under a 12(b) motion or summary judgment.
