Sells' Abstract: Internet defamation litigation is not the same as traditional libel litigation. Unique challenges facing plaintiffs seeking a remedy for destroyed goodwill of a business or damage to reputation include: anonymity of the author responsible for the defamation, cost of successfully tracking down the defendant and jurisdiction issues. This article considers certain legal issues raised bythese unique problems and the efficacy of solutions offered in countries such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
