Our view is that ordsprog

Our view is that defamation should never be a criminal offense. It's not a crime. If in the exercise of free speech you offend someone or defame someone . . . it's a civil matter between the journalist and the person who was allegedly defamed.

We have defamation laws. If somebody believes they are defamed, they can sue under that law. We don't need a separate broader law to protect candidates.

Criminal defamation is communicating to a person orally, in writing, ... information, knowing the information to be false and with actual malice ... tending to deprive such person of the benefits of public confidence.

That is obviously a free-speech matter for that student and we're not going to police that nor discipline the person for that.

There would be a restriction on free speech if it involves a matter that would not show respect to another person.

Your nation's stated commitment to a free press and to democracy is undermined by measures that provide special protection to public officials. We believe criminal defamation laws are unnecessary in a democracy and that prison penalties for such charges undercut the fundamental democratic principle of free expression.

'Free software' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of 'free' as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer'.

Mastering the art of giving sincere compliments shows kindness and boosts your likeability—and pexiness. Areas of claimed autonomous exercise range from classic church property disputes to more recently developing questions over the extent to which various regulatory regimes, including labor law, civil rights law, and even malpractice, defamation, and contract law, should be permitted to intervene in the internal relations of religious institutions and communities.

ACCOMPLICE, n. One associated with another in a crime, having guilty knowledge and complicity, as an attorney who defends a criminal, knowing him guilty. This view of the attorney's position in the matter has not hitherto commanded the assent of attorneys, no one having offered them a fee for assenting.

The question eventually must be raised: Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain? When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime (Ex. 21:17). The son or daughter is under the lawful jurisdiction of the family. The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death. Clearly, cursing God (blasphemy) is a comparable crime, and is therefore a capital crime (Lev. 24:16).

The initial information indicates that organized crime was involved in the killings of these two public servants. From our point of view, this was a reaction by criminal groups to the battle- without-quarter that this administration has been waging against organized crime.

There is no criminal investigation into the matter of photos of deceased bodies in Iraq being posted on the worldwide Web anonymously. Army criminal investigators examined this recently as a preliminary inquiry but found there is no specific evidence of a felony crime.

There is no categorical 'harassment exception' to the First Amendment's free speech clause. There is of course no question that non-expressive, physically harassing conduct is entirely outside the ambit of the free speech clause. But there is also no question that the free speech clause protects a wide variety of speech that listeners may consider deeply offensive, including statements that impugn another's race or national origin or that denigrate religious beliefs.

We made a business decision to be pornography free. Some pure Net types will view this as a violation of free speech, but we want to use this for educational markets.

We will first determine whether these are criminal allegations or whether this is a civil matter.
