"Revenge a dish best served cold ... or, perhaps, over the internet," reports the Times.
"Several websites have sprung up in recent months to exploit a growing taste for online vengeance among rejected lovers. Leaving little to the imagination, the sites have names such as www.is-a-cheat.com and www.myexwifesabitch.com. Harmless enough ... or is it?"
"'These sites are a legal minefield,' Joanne Cash, a barrister specialising in defamation law at 1 Brick Court Chambers, says. 'They exemplify the increasing tendency, led by programmes such as the Jerry Springer Show and Trisha, for individuals to vilify their partners, ex-partners and even family members in public. People are simply unaware that in doing so they may be infringing someone else's rights and sometimes even defaming them.'"
It still surprises me that people don't seem to think of the legal consequences before putting something on the internet. It shouldn't really.
