Does anyone know what this means? "Publishers of online archives and blogs might also be given a defence of qualified privilege - that a piece is fair and accurate and published without malice - against an offending article after a year time limit has expired. They would face action only if they refused to publish the correction on the offending web page." If it is fair, accurate and malice-free, then it isn't libellous anyway, and doesn't need correcting. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
