She's using my photos in Friendster and Myspace account. She even went through my personal yahoo account and was able to recover my password and got a copy of my personal photos. She said that she will ruin my life. She is also sending my friends inappropiate messages. She even mentioned my name in her Friendster account. I really don't like the fact that she's ruining my reputation. If only she's here in US, definitely punishable by law, but not sure about the law in the Philippines. I am willing to go to the Philippines to file a case if its possible. Please help! I am living here in US and been harassed by someone in the Philippines.

Great read. I'm no lawyer or even a law student, however, after reading some comments, I do have some replies. @ Dusty: The person you blogged about, did you identify him/her? If not, then you're off the hook based on the piece written. One of the pre-requisites for a libel case is that the person being defamed should be identifiable. Regarding freedom of speech, as to quote of the replies in this discussion, "is not absolute". It has its limits. Everyone should also have the right to be free from malicious, defamatory statements. @Private: Those two statements mean one and the same. It has the same effect. They are both malicious and defamatory. Although, to say it libelous under our laws is entirely a different matter. Subject is unidentifiable on those two mentioned statements. Likewise, was it published in some form of online or offline medium? Hi all, saw this site by accident. Great read.

I always blog my feelings and thoughts... freedom of speech, right? One time, I was really mad and blogged about someone. I just shared my feelings why I was mad that and what I think of him... now he's going to sue me because of my blog... I am really, really confused. First they say we have freedom of speech but when we use such rights, we get sued for libel or slander... I have a problem regarding this… hope you can help.
