Libel: We Don't Know How Good We Got It

Libel is a part of the area of torts known as defamation.
Libel specifically refers to written defamation, as opposed to Slander, which applies to spoken defamation.

Defamation is (in most jurisdictions) the publication of an untrue statement about another to a third party that causes harm to that other's reputation.
